How to Send Offer Letters

This article explains how to send offer letters to candidates through 100Hires. Use email templates, custom variables, and automation to streamline your offer process.


Option 1: Email offer letters


Send offer letters as email attachments or formatted messages.


Creating an offer template


  1. Go to Settings / Email Templates
  2. Click Add Template
  3. Name it (e.g., "Offer Letter - [Position Type]")
  4. Write your offer content using variables
  5. Save


Using variables in offers


Personalize each offer with variables:


Variable

Inserts

{{candidate_first_name}}

Candidate name

{{job_title}}

Position title

{{job_location}}

Work location

{{company_name}}

Company name

Custom job variables

Salary, start date, etc.


Setting up custom offer variables


  1. Open the job
  2. Go to Optional tab
  3. Add custom variables:
  • {{salary}} - Compensation amount
  • {{start_date}} - Proposed start date
  • {{benefits}} - Benefits summary
  1. Fill in values for this job


Sending the offer


  1. Open candidate profile
  2. Go to Messages tab
  3. Select your offer template
  4. Attach formal offer letter PDF if needed
  5. Review and send


Option 2: Using Zapier for offer automation


For offers requiring additional workflow automation, use the Zapier integration to connect with other applications.


Setting up Zapier for offer workflows


  1. Go to Zapier and create a new Zap
  2. Trigger: Select "100Hires" as the trigger app
  3. Choose trigger: "New candidate in stage" and select "Offer" stage
  4. Action: Connect to your desired app (e.g., create tasks, send notifications, update records)
  5. Map the trigger fields to the action app
  6. Activate the Zap


How Zapier automates offer workflows


  1. Move candidate to "Offer" stage in 100Hires
  2. Zapier triggers automatically based on your settings
  3. Your connected app receives the data and performs the action
  4. Workflows complete without manual intervention
  5. Optional: Create multi-step Zaps for complex processes


Option 3: Manual process


For simple workflows:


  1. Prepare offer letter outside 100Hires
  2. Upload to candidate's profile (Notes tab)
  3. Send via email with attachment
  4. Track status by moving through stages


Tracking offer status


Use pipeline stages to track:

Process complete


Setting up offer automation


Automate offer-related tasks:


  1. Go to job's Workflow tab
  2. Add automation to "Offer Sent" stage:
  • Email to HR: Notify of pending offer
  • Assign task: Follow up in 3 days
  1. Add automation to "Offer Accepted" stage:
  • Email to hiring manager
  • Email to candidate: Welcome message
