Offers

Create and send job offers, and see when a candidate accepts or declines.

When you've chosen your candidate, send them the offer from HRHandle. The candidate gets a private link where they can read it and accept or decline, and you see their answer straight away. Owners and admins create and send offers; other teammates see the offer and its status on the candidate's profile.

Create an offer

Move the candidate to the Offer stage. Their stage card then turns into the offer form.

The Create offer form with compensation and currency, the dates, the offer details, the personal note and the save buttons highlighted — The candidate sees everything you fill in here. Compensation and dates are optional.

Compensation and Currency — for example 6500 and GEL.
Start date and Respond-by date — when the job starts and how long the offer stays open. After the respond-by date the offer expires and can no longer be accepted.
Offer details — the offer itself, in your own words: the role, team, salary, benefits.
Personal note to the candidate (optional) — a few words of your own. The offer page shows it as A note from the recruiter.
Save draft keeps the offer to finish later. Save & send emails the candidate a link to the offer.

Follow the offer

Once the offer is sent, the stage card shows it with its status.

A sent offer with Copy offer link, Withdraw and Mark as Hired highlighted — The offer's status, its link, and the final step: the hire.

Copy offer link — copy the link to send it another way, for example in a chat.
Withdraw — take the offer back. The candidate's page then says it was withdrawn, and you can create a new offer.
Mark as Hired — hire the candidate. You don't have to wait for them to accept.

Status	Means
Draft	Saved, not sent yet.
Sent	Waiting for the candidate's answer.
Accepted	The candidate accepted.
Declined	The candidate declined, optionally with a reason.
Expired	The respond-by date passed without an answer.
Withdrawn	You took the offer back.

When the candidate accepts or declines, the owner and admins get a notification. If they decline with a reason, the reason is in the notification and under the declined offer in Previous offers on the stage card. An accepted offer doesn't hire the candidate by itself: the stage card shows Offer accepted and a Mark as Hired button, so you finish the hire when you're ready.

What the candidate sees

The candidate's offer page with the role, compensation, dates, offer details, the recruiter's note and the Decline and Accept offer buttons — The offer page, in your organization's language.

The page shows everything from the offer form, with your personal note under A note from the recruiter.

Decline / Accept offer — the candidate answers right on the page. They're asked to confirm, and when declining they can add a short reason.

Under the offer, Not sure? lets the candidate email the person who sent it. More about the pages candidates see in What candidates see.
