Writing a solid offer letter is important because it helps in establishing a common ground between a new employee and the company. A signed offer letter can also protect your company if an employee quits a job and claims that job duties and compensation weren’t described accurately. 


Most importantly, having a professionally drafted, signed offer letter communicates to a candidate that you are serious about bringing them on board.


What to include in your offer letters?
- Compensation
- Work Hours
- The job responsibilities and supervisor
- Benefits
- Leave and vacation
- Key dates

Configuring an offer letter on Skillate has essentially 6 steps:



  • Recruiters can configure offer letters by uploading a template with placeholders prior to the hiring process. For easy and faster offer generation, a form can be generated for the respective offer template- where the recruiters upon finalizing a candidate will be prompted to fill up.



  • Once a candidate is finalized for a position and recruiters can fill up the details on the form which was configured earlier. The details automatically replace the placeholders on the offer template.


  • You can have any changes or updates made to the form, anytime! But please ensure that if you have already rolled out the offer letter-  you may have to generate a fresh copy of the offer letter upon saving the changes.
