[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I am a recruiter. I’ve worked both for agencies and in house. You’ve left a lot of important context out of your post.

1. Is this the company’s internal recruiter?
2. Did you apply to a position with them that offered relocation or did they come to you?
3. Is there  posted salary range and if so where is the offer in comparison to the range? If not what have they said? Ask them what internal equity is for the role. 
4. What level of IC role is this? You say they put you through a testing usually for management. Is it a fellow or chief architect or equivalent role? Why did they ask you to do the testing?

I could go on but overall I’m guessing there is a mismatch in expectations between you and them. [/quote]

Thanks for your thoughtful questions! Please see my responses.

1. Is this the company’s internal recruiter?

Yes, he’s an executive recruiter.

2. Did you apply to a position with them that offered relocation or did they come to you?

They spoke generally about relocation assistance at the start of the interview process, but I was unclear in terms/packages offered.  My impression was that there would be a formal relocation assistance program - which it sounds like they have in place - rather than an “incentive,” which is what I’m being offered.

3. Is there  posted salary range and if so where is the offer in comparison to the range? If not what have they said? Ask them what internal equity is for the role.

I was offered the mid-point of the range.

4. What level of IC role is this? You say they put you through a testing usually for management. Is it a fellow or chief architect or equivalent role? Why did they ask you to do the testing?

It’s for an internal consultant role.  I guess for roles above a certain pay band/those that are more visible they ask for this testing. I would be working closely with leadership, including executive leadership - this is a cornerstone of my professional experience.[/quote]
