MightyRecruiterIf you’re like most professionals involved in the hiring process, you conduct interviews and select candidates at least once a year, if not multiple times a month. Turnover, company growth, and a host of other factors keep you busy, and your first candidate job offer certainly won’t be your last.
The purpose of the latter is to clearly outline the specifics of employment so candidates can make a thoughtful and informed decision to accept, negotiate, or reject.
For this reason, you’ll need to include every important detail relevant to the position, and you’ll need to attach any links or additional files that provide your reader with all the necessary information they’ll need.
A job appointment email should also be considered a formal document and should carry the serious and professional tone that the occasion requires. Use this job appointment email sample as a guide while you draft and edit your own message.
