Verbal offers, unlike written job offers, are typically extended in person or over the phone. While a verbal offer is significant in terms of the employer's intention to hire, it is still an informal offer. Informal verbal offers do not offer the security of a written offer, which is a legally binding contract.
1. Express your enthusiasm about the potential position. While you're not yet accepting the position, you do want to show you're thankful and excited. Tell the person you are enthusiastic about possibly working together to impress your prospective employer. For example, you might say, ``Thank you so much for the offer!
Dear (HR Contact's Name), I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the status of my offer letter for the (Job Title) position at (Company Name), which I was informed would be provided by (Date/Timeframe). I am eager to finalize my plans and am looking forward to joining (Company Name).
If the HR hasn't sent the offer letter, wait for 7–10 days. If you still do not receive the offer, there is nothing you can really do about it, other than following up with the HR on phone or through email. Do not do even that beyond a point as it...
Email again. Let them know about the situation with the recruiter's lack of response. The hiring manager may be able to provide you with more information or assist you in connecting with someone else in HR.
The best way to ask for a written contract is to do it as soon as possible after the verbal agreement, preferably within 24 hours. You can send a polite and enthusiastic email to the hiring manager or recruiter, thanking them for the offer and expressing your interest in joining the team.
Send a polite email to your HR representative, addressing them by name if possible. In the email, thank them for the verbal offer and express your excitement about the opportunity. Politely request that they send over the formal written offer letter as soon as convenient for them.
