MightyRecruiterA well-written employee referral program letter is vital to running a successful recruiting-by-referral initiative. An effective message can encourage workers to act as extensions of your own hiring process, contacting the brightest talent in their networks.
When you make a formal offer to a candidate, you’ll need to keep all of these points in mind so you start the relationship off on the right foot and clearly, but congenially spell out the specifics that the prospective employee needs to accept the offer and get ready for day one.
Use this job appointment letter sample to shape your message and steer your document in the right direction, keeping in mind that the details of your own company and position will vary.
However, regardless of your situation, you should always include the job title, salary and benefit information, expectations, the start date, and the structure of the employment relationship in the letter.
