The last thing you want is for the perfect candidate to receive their official offer and be surprised by its contents.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>If a candidate turns down your offer or accepts a counteroffer, there&#8217;s no point in burning the bridge by getting upset, as you might still be able to recruit that candidate in the future.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img alt=\"6 ways to ensure your candidate turns down your job offer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-ways-to-ensure-your-candidate-turns-down-your-job-offer.png\" style=\"width:100%;\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fancy\" class=\"fancy\" id=\"6-mistakes-you-can-make-with-a-candidate-at-the-offer-stage\">6 Mistakes You Can Make with a Candidate at the Offer Stage<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"ordered-list-large\">\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Keep them waiting. <\/b>You were so keen to rush them through the interview process since you knew how hard it would be to find good candidates. But then you realised just how long the recruitment process was taking and how much of your own work you now need to catch up on so you decide to keep them waiting.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one way to get them to lose interest fast.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll never be accused of over-communicating. No candidate will turn a job offer down because you were in touch with them too frequently during the process.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Make the offer via email.\u00a0<\/b>If you can, it\u2019s always a good idea to make a verbal offer first. Ideally, meet with the candidate in person \u2013 or at the very least <em>call<\/em> them. Be excited for them, and let them know how keen you are to have them come on board.<\/p>\n<p>Talk through the role and core responsibilities again, and be clear on the salary you would like to offer them and on when you\u2019d like them to start.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming they do verbally accept, there is then nothing wrong with telling the candidate they will receive an official letter of offer within 24 hours.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Get\u00a0someone else to\u00a0send the offer out on your behalf. <\/b> Believe it or not, candidates like continuity. So if you want to derail your star candidate, just ask another random team member to email the contract out on your behalf.<\/p>\n<p>The candidate will then think you were just the \u2018show person\u2019 to get them in the door, but that you really don\u2019t have any time for them. In their mind they&#8217;ve received a communication that reads, \u201c<em>Hi, you don\u2019t know who I am\u00a0but please sign here. Welcome aboard!<\/em>\u201d.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Include items in the offer that you hadn\u2019t explained in person.\u00a0<\/b>When a candidate receives your offer of employment, there should be absolutely nothing in it that surprises them or that they weren\u2019t expecting to see \u2013 including salary details.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if the commencing salary is different from their post-probation salary, make sure you cover that during the interview. Or when you first discuss salary with the candidate, you must clarify whether it\u2019s a salary package inclusive of benefits or a base salary plus benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Any hidden surprises will just end up pushing candidates away.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Don\u2019t give them any time to think about it. <\/b>Nothing is more nerve-wracking for a candidate considering a\u00a0new job offer\u00a0than to feel like they&#8217;re on a clock.<\/p>\n<p>Accepting a new role and going through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/dealing-with-resignations\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">resignation process<\/a> at their previous job is stressful enough as it is. Adding even more pressure at this time could easily scare them off.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Get defensive if they consider another offer.\u00a0<\/b>There\u2019s evidence to show that over 75% of candidates who accept a counteroffer end up leaving the organization anyway within the next 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>So if you show a bit of aggression or hostility towards a candidate who might be considering a counteroffer, then if they do ultimately leave their current employer within the next few months, they most likely won\u2019t be reaching back out to you.<\/p>\n<p>Remember how you thought they were a rock-star candidate? Keep that thought in mind before you get too defensive.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div ckmz=\"zippia\">\n<div class=\"row\" onclick=\"location.href='\/employer\/?src=inlinePostAJob-4491';\" style=\"font-size: 14px;color: #333; background: #fff; width: 100%; border: 1px solid #d8dee2; border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; padding: 20px; justify-content: space-between;box-shadow: 0 18px 20px -20px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 15%); margin:0px; cursor:pointer;\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-8 col-xs-12\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); --vh: 12.87px;font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.42857143; color: #333; font-family: Open Sans,serif;font-style: normal; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"display: inline-block;margin-top: 10px;font-weight: 600;font-size: 20px;\">Get Started Hiring Now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-12\" style=\"font-weight: 600;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px; text-align: center; text-transform: capitalize; color: #fff; background: #ff6000; border-radius: 4px; height: 48px; border: none; font-family: Open Sans,serif; display: -webkit-flex; display: flex; -webkit-justify-content: center; justify-content: center; -webkit-align-items: center; align-items: center;\">\n<a href=\"\/employer\/?src=inlinePostAJob-4491\" style=\"color: white!important;\">Post A Job<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"fancy\" class=\"fancy\" id=\"candidate-offer-faqs\">Candidate Offer FAQs<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"ordered-list-large\">\n<li class=\"ordered-list-large-item\">\n<p><b>Should I make a verbal job offer?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Whether or not you should make a verbal job offer depends on your company.<\/b> Make sure you have the proper authorization before extending any kind of verbal offer or agreement.<\/p>\n<p>If you are authorized to do so, a verbal offer can be a great way to show interest and help head off any counteroffers the candidate might receive.
