Offer Letter
Turn an approved hiring decision into a clear offer the candidate can say yes to without a follow-up question.
When to use
- A candidate has cleared interviews and the operator approves an offer.
- A verbal offer needs to be put in writing.
Steps
- Confirm the role, level, and approved compensation.
- Assemble the terms: salary, equity, start date, and benefits.
- State any contingencies — references, background, or eligibility.
- Draft the letter in plain, warm language with a clear deadline.
- Check every number and date against the approval.
Output
A complete offer letter with terms, contingencies, and a response deadline, following the [[Hiring checklist]]. The operator approves before it is sent.
