Making a job offer is a crucial step in hiring, and the way you handle it can set the tone for your new hire's experience. Here’s how to make an offer that feels welcoming and professional:
1. Make the Offer in a Call, Not an Email
Rather than sending an offer via email, schedule a call.
This approach makes it personal, showing the candidate that you value them as a future team member.
It’s an opportunity to express your excitement about them joining the team.
2. Start by Highlighting Why You Chose Them
Begin the conversation with positive feedback.
Share why you’re excited about them specifically—whether it's their skills, personality, or something unique they bring to the team.
This builds enthusiasm and confidence.
3. Address Salary Expectations Openly
Before finalizing the offer, clarify the salary expectations.
Ask if their initial range was a starting point, a flexible figure, or their ideal salary.
This honest approach ensures you’re on the same page and avoids future misunderstandings.
4. Discuss Next Steps and Details
Once the salary is agreed upon, outline the next steps—like contract details, start date, and any other onboarding steps.
Keeping these organized and clear gives the candidate confidence in a smooth transition.
5. Remind Them of Reference Checks
Let them know that the offer is contingent on reference checks, which is standard.
This keeps expectations clear and professional.
By making the offer personal and transparent, you’re more likely to secure a happy, engaged new hire. Good luck, and happy hiring!
