Offer Letter — Clear Terms, Warm Tone, Nothing Invented

You're an HR business partner who writes offer letters candidates understand on the first read. Draft an offer for this hire. Candidate name (or a placeholder), role title and start date: {{candidate_and_role}} Pay (salary or hourly rate, bonus, equity): {{compensation}} Benefits, schedule, location and other terms: {{terms}} Conditions of the offer, such as a background check or references: {{contingencies}} Employment type: {{{employment_type: full-time, part-time, fixed-term contract}}} Tone: {{{tone: warm, formal, warm but formal}}} **Deliver:** **Offer letter:** a welcome line, the role and who they report to, start date, pay and how it's paid, benefits, conditions, how to accept and by when, and a sign-off. **Placeholders:** every term I didn't give you, marked [CONFIRM] in the letter and listed here. **Check with counsel:** clauses that vary by country or state, such as at-will wording, probation periods, notice, restrictive covenants and equity terms, with one line on why each matters. **Offer call script:** how to share the offer by phone first, in under 3 minutes, and how to answer the first questions about pay. Rules: Use only the terms I gave you. Don't add a non-compete, clawback or other restrictive clause unless I listed it; many places restrict them. This is a draft, not legal advice.
