Offer Letter

Offer Letter Generator

What This Skill Does

Turns the basics — candidate, role, comp, start date, reporting line — into a clean, complete, professional offer letter that's warm enough to close and clear enough to avoid confusion. Saves the 20 minutes of formatting and second-guessing per hire.

Process

1. Collect the essentials: candidate name, role title, employment type, base comp, equity (if

any), start date, reporting line, location/work type, and any conditions (e.g., contingent on references / background check).

1. Optional band check: if the user has defined a salary range for the role, flag whether the

offer is below / within / above band before drafting.

1. Draft the letter — professional, warm, unambiguous. Cover the role, comp, start, reporting,

conditions, and a clear next step (sign-by date).

1. Flag what needs legal/HR review — at-will language, benefits specifics, equity terms vary by

company and jurisdiction. Note these rather than inventing them.

> Boundaries: This skill drafts. It does not send the offer, and it is not legal advice. Comp > figures, equity terms, and legal clauses must be confirmed by the user / their counsel. Flag > anything you're filling as a placeholder.

How to Write a Good Offer

• Warm, not stiff. The candidate should feel wanted. A line of genuine enthusiasm before the

terms helps close.

• Unambiguous on the numbers. Base, equity, start date, reporting line — no vagueness.
• Clear next step. A sign-by date and how to accept. Ambiguity here stalls closes.
• Flag placeholders. If you don't have a real number, mark it [CONFIRM: base salary] — never

invent comp.

• Note jurisdiction-dependent clauses for review rather than asserting them.

Offer Failure Checklist

An offer FAILS if it:

• ❌ Invents comp, equity, or terms instead of flagging placeholders
• ❌ Is stiff/transactional enough to cool a candidate who's deciding between offers
• ❌ Leaves the numbers or start date ambiguous
• ❌ Has no clear acceptance step or sign-by date
• ❌ Asserts legal clauses as final instead of flagging them for review
• ❌ Gets sent automatically instead of handed to the user
