Extend a job offer
How to write a letter to extend a job offer:
A written job offer eliminates misunderstandings and clarifies important details. Use this opportunity to make the applicant feel positive about employment with you. In discussing the offer, be careful not to imply more than you are sure you can deliver. Also, you may want to use this letter to ask your reader to provide proof of legal employment eligibility. Assure the sender that you have received the resume and that you will consider it carefully. Your letter should be direct and encouraging, but not overbearing. As you write the letter, be thorough, but concise. Omit irrelevant details and communicate the facts. On the other hand, make sure that the information you send is clear and complete so that you do not have to answer a barrage of questions later. Formalize the job offer in writing. Include, for example, important information, such as the agreed-upon start date for employment, job title and additional details about responsibilities, job location, and starting salary. Offering a position to someone who has not applied for the job?
This can be a sensitive task, especially if that person is already employed by someone else. For this to be an effective letter, you must convince your prospective employee that a position with your company would be much better than his or her current job.
