Then Fast-Track Your Hiring Process This Way.

Always note the fine print. Because good writing always counts.

In a perfect startup, employees mean everything. Hiring the best employees is crucial to startup success. Yet, everyone HATES writing letters. The best example? Your employee’s Job Appointment Letter. Screw this up, and you’ll lose your best task force.

Many of us have big dreams. But how many of us actually follow through and achieved them?

Startups starting from scratch have a hard time hiring employees. A major reason that turns away potential hardworking, cream-of-the-crop employees is simple — when a brand new company appears shady in its hiring process.

One of the biggest differences between a true winner and a loser, is how they approach their potential employees, with a direct, simplified, semi-transparent and target-oriented selection process.

Each time a company needs a person to fill a vacant position, it calls for qualified applicants to send in their applications. After receiving applications, a group of shortlisted applicants are called for interviews. Depending on the kind of company/position, it can be one or more interviews.

After the completion of this process, the qualified candidate[s] will be issued a job appointment letter.

This is an overlooked step in this entire process, where potential employees can be disinterested in a new startup, especially if the company is either too descriptive or is not descriptive enough for the employee’s liking.

So make sure your Job Appointment Letters are upto Scratch.

Dribble

A Job appointment letter can be defined as a formal written document, which is directed to an applicant who has shown interest to a particular position in a company and has qualified in all levels of assessments.

Writing a job appointment letter can be an overwhelming and tiresome work to do, particularly for a CEO too busy to prepare such cumbersome documents.

This is why it is crucial to use templates as examples which will guide you to prepare a professional job appointment letter.

A professionally written appointment letter usually includes all the information one needs to know about that particular position, this includes important elements like :

1. Job Title

The official employee’s title for that particular position.

2. Commencement Date

It is very important for the letter to clearly inform the candidate of the starting date and time in order to avoid all possible misunderstanding.

3. Salary:

The salary for the appointed candidate is usually stated clearly in the job appointment letter and the mode of payments as well as the frequency of payments. This will be important for the candidate to analyze and accept or open a room for negotiation if there will be any.

4. Conditions:

Included here are all the rules to abide within a particular position of a company. This includes details about dress codes, punctuality and all other kinds of conditions required for that position.

5. Bonuses + Compensations:

These are rewards that will be awarded by the employer when certain targets are met. These included health care services, days off for vacations, store discounts and many other benefits.

★ TIP : State. Do not Invite.

A job appointment letter is not an invitation for your employee to come work in your organization. Instead, it is a formal statement of rules and regulations, to which the employee must adhere to whilst spending time under your company’s roof.

This is what a typical Job Appointment Letter looks like :

Final Conclusions :

1. This is not a replacement for a legally-binding contract. There is still a contract which will be signed afterwards, therefore all legal formalities will not be included in this letter. Instead they will be found in the actual job contract.

2. Keep a Free-Flowing Communication with your Employee. You should speak or call the candidate before issuing this letter because this will make it seem more enthusiastic and personal on your part. Hence, avoid sending this letter without direct communication with the candidate.
