How to Create an Offer Letter Template in Recruitera

Learn how to create an offer letter template in Recruitera — a reusable offer document and message with placeholders for your hiring process.

Offer letter templates are reusable offers — a document plus a message with placeholders — that you send when making an offer. This requires a role with permission to manage offer templates (typically Admins).

Before you start

  • Required role: a role with the Manage offer templates permission (typically Admins)

  • Where to find it: Settings → Templates → Offer Letters

How to create an offer letter template

  1. Open Settings → Templates → Offer Letters and click + New template.

  2. Enter a Name and set the Language and Collar type. Optionally choose a Department and Location to scope the template (leave them blank to make it available for all jobs), and add a Tag to group and filter templates.

  3. Upload the Offer document — a .docx file that acts as the offer's shell.

  4. Write the Message that accompanies the offer, inserting placeholders such as [candidate first name], [job], and [company].

  5. Set the Status (Draft, Active, Paused, or Archived) and click Save Template.

💡 Only Active templates are available to send; use Draft while you're preparing one and Archived to retire it without deleting.

Frequently asked questions

What file format is the offer document?

Upload a .docx file as the offer shell. Placeholders in the message are filled with the candidate's and job's details when the offer is sent.

What do the statuses mean?

Draft is a work in progress, Active is ready to use, Paused temporarily takes it out of use, and Archived retires it while keeping it on record.
