Build out offers that can be sent to your candidates.

Create an offer letter

To add an offer, follow the steps below.

Select All Apps in the top left corner of the header and then Settings in its drop-down menu.
When the Settings page opens, select Offers under the Jobs section.
Select the + Add offer button in the top right corner of the Offers page.
The default offer template will then open. Enter a name for the offer letter.
Update the offer letter to better reflect the information that you want to include in it. Include tokens by typing # and selecting a token from the list to pull in dynamic information based on the value for the candidate.
Add components that the hiring team will need to fill out at the time of sending the offer. To add a component, leave your cursor in the place where you want a component added and then click that component’s Add button from the left panel. Available components include:

Available components

Start Date – This component must only be used for sending a candidate their start date. All other types of dates (orientation date, etc.) must use the Additional Date component.
- Note: This component will appear by default within the offer content, as this information is proven to be widely used within offers. It is important to note that this component already has the start date validation attached to it, which is why you must use it for this specific purpose only.
Starting Pay Rate – This component must only be used when wanting to send a candidate their starting pay rate. All other types of pay rates (orientation pay, etc.) must use the Additional Pay Rate component.
- Note: This component will appear by default within the offer content, as this information is proven to be widely used within offers. It is important to note that this component already has the starting pay rate validation attached to it, which is why you must use it for this specific purpose only.
Additional Date – This component is used to add a date (other than the Start Date) to the offer that is specific to the candidate, such as the orientation date.
Add Document – The purpose of this component is to send documents within the content of your offer. To attach a document, use the designated space to click or drag the file.
Add Dropdown – The purpose of this component is to allow users to choose between the specified options given in the builder.
Add Open Text – This component allows users to enter in any text at the time of offering to a candidate.
Add Additional Pay Rate – This component is used to add a pay rate (other than the Starting Pay Rate) to the offer that is specific to the candidate, such as orientation pay.
Add Employee Lookup – This is used to configure the user value that should be stored as a System Attribute. Options include:
- Employee ID
- Employee Email
- Employee Name
Add Location Lookup – This is used to configure the Location Management value that should be stored as a System Attribute. Options include:
- Location ID

Add Signature – This is used to require a candidate’s signature when signing their offer letter and/or a user’s signature when sending the offer letter.

A drawer will open and populate to configure the component's details. In order to edit a component, simply click on the component’s tag:
1. Label – In all drawers, the label field is the name of this component in the left-hand toolbar of the offer before sending it to a candidate.
2. Additional fields – Please see below for drawer configurations specific to each component:
