From offer to signature: closing candidates faster

The last step is where good hires are lost. Clear offers with digital signatures remove the delays between 'yes' and 'start date'.

NBy the Navalyst team

The interviews went well, the team agrees, and then the offer sits for a week in drafts, approvals and email attachments. During that week, the candidate is talking to someone else.

Where offers get stuck

  • Drafting the letter from an old template.
  • Waiting for an approver who is travelling.
  • Sending a document and waiting for a printed, signed scan back.
  • No one noticing the offer was never opened.
A signed offer returns to the candidate's profile, ready for onboarding.

A faster offer process

  1. 1

    Start from a template

    Fill in the role, pay and start date from the candidate's profile.

  2. 2

    Approve in the system

    The approver sees the offer, the candidate and the reasons in one place.

  3. 3

    Send for digital signature

    The candidate reviews and signs from their phone, without printing anything.

  4. 4

    Move to hired

    A signed offer updates the pipeline and starts onboarding.

Keep a record

Signed offers, approvals and changes belong in the same place as the candidate's history, so nothing depends on someone's inbox.

Navalyst ATS supports offers with signatures, linked to the candidate and the role. Book a walkthrough to see the full path from interview to signed offer.
