Home / Media / Blog / Offers of Employment – Close the Deal
We’ve all had it happen – after a long process of resume searches, phone screens, interview rounds, you come to the final interview with your star candidate and everyone loves him or her. No other candidates have really come close. Salary is set, the offer letter is written and approved by the top level manager. And then… disaster. The candidate declines the offer, immediately tries to negotiate, or worse yet, accepts but then backs out a few days later, citing the attractiveness of another employer’s offer over yours. More money, more perks, more time off.
Hiring an employee can be a long process, and great effort is put in by many across an organization to try to bring in the right new employee. It’s exciting when a job offer is finally made, but when offers get declined, the process takes even longer than it needs to.
How can this be avoided? What may be some reasons that candidates don’t accept offers?
Remember, accepted offer letters will remain in an employee file, and in the candidate’s personal records for quite a while. Take a moment while composing the letter to ask yourself if you would accept the offer if you were in the candidate’s shoes and if not, why not? The key is to make an offer attractive enough that it would be hard for him or her to say no, and for you to be able to welcome a new team member, with all they have to bring to the table, on board as soon as possible.
