Overview
Even though it’s called an Employment Offer Form, it’s also used to process independent contract agreements and is a critical part of any effective offer management process.
As any recruiter can attest to, identifying the right candidate to fill a position is one of the most rewarding parts of the recruitment process. Next comes presenting the candidate with an employment or independent contractor offer and agreement.
In a competitive labor market, offer management is crucial. Time is of essence as candidates could have multiple offers. An effective offer management process includes an error-free and quick turnaround of an employment or independent contractor agreement. You’ll want to strike the iron while it’s hot and do everything you can to make sure that time is not wasted chasing down offer details and approvals.
Using an Employment Offer Form ensures that you have provided your hiring managers or anyone who is providing you with the details of an offer with a structured form that includes placeholders that prompt the user to provide HR with the summary of information in one place that HR needs to quickly process an offer. Using the Employment Offer Form eliminates the guess work and endless back and forth emails trying to get the pieces of information you need to pull the trigger on an offer. This includes salary, benefits, start date, and reporting structure.
Most importantly, when HR receives a completed Employment Offer Form they are assured that the Hiring Manager has received approval and the green light to proceed with an offer. It is not unheard of (actually it’s quite common) for hiring managers to direct HR to process an offer that has not been approved by management! By implementing an Employment Offer Form, this scenario can be avoided.
With all required information summarized in the Employment Offer Form, HR can zap out the employment contract in a jiffy…and focus on an equally important part of the offer management process – salary negotiation!
