Offer of Employment Letter

An Offer of Employment Letter is used when an employer would like to offer a potential employee a position with their business. Employment offer letters are used widely across all industries and are very prominently used to offer professional positions. It is common practice among many employers to first issue a verbal offer of employment which will then be followed up by an official written offer. However, some employers may wish to simply issue a written offer where multiple candidates have been interviewed or applied for the position on offer.

The Offer of Employment Letter will include valuable information about the position that is on offer in order to aid the potential employee with their decision to accept or decline the offer. There may be many details within the letter which previously have not been disclosed to the potential employee and many of them may have been communicated already however the letter will act as a formal confirmation of this. An Offer of Employment Letter is often viewed as a formal beginning to the relationship between an employer and an employee.
