Job Offer
A formal proposal of employment setting out the role, terms and conditions for a chosen candidate.
A job offer is the employer's formal proposal that a candidate join the organisation, setting out the essentials such as role, salary, start date and key conditions. Acceptance forms the basis of the employment relationship.
Offers may be conditional — for example, on satisfactory references, right-to-work verification or background checks — and this should be stated clearly.
Handling offers professionally and promptly protects the candidate experience and reduces the risk of losing strong hires to competitors.
