Why they are important
Offer letters are essentially the beginning of an employee relationship 鈥 they allow you to highlight relevant details about your company and outline the job's responsibilities, therefore it's pivotal that the agreement is clear and positive.
As offer letters also act as a legal document, terms and conditions must be outlined. In the event that the candidate requests to negotiate terms like salary or benefits, the document serves as a critical reference point.
