Offer Letter A letter sent to a candidate to formally offer them a job - Sample format

A job offer is a formal proposal from an employer to a potential employee, indicating that the employer is willing to hire the candidate for a specific role within the organization. A job offer typically includes details about the position, such as the job title, duties and responsibilities, compensation and benefits, and start date.

The job offer can be made in a number of ways, such as by phone, email, or letter. The job offer letter is a commonly used method and it serves as a legal document that confirms the details of the job offer and the agreement between the employer and the candidate. It can also include the details about any pre-employment requirements such as background check, drug testing, etc.

The candidate will usually have a specified amount of time to accept or decline the job offer, and in some cases a formal offer letter is not extended until the candidate has completed any contingencies such as background check, medical examination, and other requirements.

If the candidate accepts the job offer, they will typically be required to sign and return the letter to confirm their acceptance. Once the offer letter is accepted, the candidate is typically considered a new employee of the organization.
