Tips and Best Practices When Making the Job Offer

Many companies take a "one size fits all" approach when extending offers to job candidates, especially when the company is hiring a high volume of new employees for lower or midlevel positions.

Template offer letters and standardized procedures for extending job offers are very helpful and important in increasing efficiency, ensuring that important steps in the hiring process do not fall through the cracks and ensuring consistent and equitable treatment of job candidates. However, each candidate also comes with his or her own unique circumstances that employers should evaluate on a case-by-case basis. This topic will provide companies with valuable tips on what decisions unique to each candidate the company should make before even extending a job offer, and best practices regarding language to include and language to avoid in offer letters. This material covers how to tailor a job offer to suit individual candidates without undermining the company's need for consistency and an efficient and effective manner to conduct the necessary due diligence, and ensuring smooth and effective onboarding of new employees.
