Definition: A counter offer letter is a job candidate's response to a job offer from an employer. A candidate may send a counter offer letter if she does not consider the compensation package acceptable.
In a counter offer letter, the candidate typically demonstrates interest in the position, but she states that she desires a change in the offered compensation package. Writing a counter offer letter is best for candidates who are better at negotiating in writing rather than in person.
