Should I Share About An Existing Offer With The Recruiters

Akshara Prasad
Hi,
I have an offer and the joining is on this thursday, but I am still searching for a better one. Let's say i got an interview scheduled before thursday, should I tell about the current offer and joining date to recruiter,if asked?
Regards,
Akshara

Dear Akshara,
Sharing information about an existing offer with the hiring team is a negotiation tool. Unless you want them to pace up the decision or offer you a greater package there is no reason why you should share it.
It can create a negative impact , if they already have a better offer for you.
Hence , request you to play your cards well.
Wishing you all the best !

Disclosing the other offer will not be in good taste.
The question is why have you come for this interview if you already have a confirmed offer.
Only reason the current job may be giving better package.
It also could be construed as a negotiating tool.
The company may think-person has not been selected and he is trying to negotiate.
In short,I would not disclose if I was in your place.
