An offer of employment letter is a formal document that outlines the key terms of an employment offer, including job title, salary, benefits, start date, and other relevant conditions. It serves as a written record of the agreement and ensures clarity between the employer and the candidate, helping to prevent misunderstandings.
Typically sent after a successful interview, the letter may be emailed or mailed. It may include a deadline for accepting or declining the offer.
Once accepted, both parties can proceed with finalising the employment contract and necessary paperwork.
