We’ve been talking about hiring a
new employee for your program. By this
point, you’ve made your decision. Now
you just need to determine if the applicant sees you as their employer of
choice and if you can come to an agreement about their employment. And, after you do that, to notify the
applicants that were not selected.
One of the most important parts of
this stage is to make sure that you make an employment offer without implying
any sort of contract with the individual.
Although you have taken a lot of time to hire the correct person for
your team, you also need to leave yourself a way out, just in case. We typically contact the applicant
telephonically and offer the position verbally.
If they accept, we then email or fax a formal offer letter to be signed and returned by
a specific date.
Only after we have that signed offer
letter do we send rejection letters to the other applicants. We have one letter for those who were not
granted interviews and another for those who interviewed with us. For those who interviewed with us, we notify
them that we will keep their application on file for consideration for future
openings.
In two weeks, we will talk about
integrating your new employee into your team.
(In the meantime, happy Easter/Pascha!)
