Updates to the offer journey

  • offer templates
  • check the details of the offer page
  • what's the applicant asked you to do with the conditional offer?
  • view the conditional job offer
  • check the details of your conditional job offer page

New download offer letter link

We've added a new link to the email page called ‘Download the offer letter’. Employers can download the offer letter before sending it to the applicant.
