People Task

Reconcile a written job offer before sending it

Check approved role, terms, conditions, dates, and decision ownership before an authorised person sends one proposal.

“This is costing me trust and decision time because important terms remain implicit.”

The result you need

Let both sides accept, decline, or negotiate the same reviewed written proposal.

What is happening now

Where the work gets stuck

A candidate has been chosen and approved terms must be reconciled with earlier written commitments and questions.

When it starts
The authorised decision owner is ready to make an offer.
What makes it difficult
Verbal assumptions can leave the founder and candidate considering different proposals.
What progress looks like
Local HR or legal review approves one version with a response route and named contact.

What to try next

Check a written offer before an authorised person sends it

Reconcile one proposal and route every term through qualified local review.

Open the practice

Before you act

Check these limits

  • Confirm the worker’s jurisdiction and classification before drafting terms.
  • Qualified HR or legal reviewers must approve compensation, equity, checks, conditions, and withdrawal steps.
  • Do not use AI to decide terms, make an offer, or give legal advice.
  • Keep negotiation records restricted and correctable.
