How to Master Delivering a Job Offer to a Candidate
When offering someone a job, it is a really important time for not just the candidate but for your company too! You need to remember that when offering a job, it isn’t just the offer that matters, it is the delivery.
We sat down with Brad Read, Team Lead at Oselo, and here are the tips he has to offer!
Make it Personal
It is key to remember every person is an individual, and joining a new company can be daunting for some. To show that you and the company are excited to have them on-board it is a good idea to personalise the offer. Start by using their name, telling them how well they did in the interviews, what characteristics stood out to you as an employer, and how excited you are to have them as part of the team!
Explain Clearly
When you offer a job, make sure everything is clear. The job title, salary, start date, and all the important details should be in the offer letter. This way, they know exactly what they're getting into.
Don't Wait
Once you've decided to offer the job, don't take too long. People might be looking at other jobs too. Send the offer as soon as you can so they don't lose interest. It can also make your company look well-organised!
Talk Both Ways
Let them ask questions about the offer. This shows you care about what they want and makes them feel better about joining. If they're not sure about something, explain it to them.
Show You're Happy
Tell them you're really excited about them joining. Mention the good things you saw in them during interviews and say how their skills match the company's goals. This makes them feel special and wanted.
Help Them Get Ready
After they say yes to the offer, give them information about what comes next. Tell them about the company culture, what they need to know before starting, and help them feel ready to be a part of the team.
Offering a job is a big deal! It’s the start of a new chapter for most. By being personal, clear, and excited, you make them feel good about joining. This doesn't just help them start well but also shows others how great your company is and brings more talented people to you.
