Make a Job Offer

Once the decision has been made to offer an applicant a position and the applicant has accepted, the applicant should be converted to an employee. This is done by assigning the position that the applicant has applied for to the applicant. Either an HR Staff person or an HR Manager can set the position.

From the Home page or left menu, click Manage People. The Manage People page opens. Click Review Applicants.
The Review Applicants page opens, listing all open positions for the organization. Click the open position that you want to assign to the applicant.
The names of all applicants for the position display. Click Make a job offer beside the name of the applicant who will be hired.
The Make a Job Offer form opens. The Start Date for the new position is set to today's date by default. Enter a new date if it is different. Select the Currency that the employee is paid in and enter the Salary for the position. Click Confirm and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it.
