Hi [CANDIDATE_FIRST_NAME], I just wanted to check in about the offer we sent over for the [JOB_TITLE] role. I hope you've had a chance to review everything. We remain very excited about you joining the team and want to make sure you have everything you need to make your decision. If you have any outstanding questions about the role, team, compensation, or anything else — please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to jump on a call and talk through anything. We're hoping to finalise things by [DATE] if possible. Please let us know if you need any additional time. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, [RECRUITER_NAME] [COMPANY_NAME]

Customisation Tips

  • Wait the full decision window before following up — respect the candidate's timeline
  • Keep it warm and curious, not pressuring — you want them to want to join
  • Offer a call — sometimes hesitation is about an unanswered question, not the offer itself
  • If they need more time, give it graciously unless you genuinely have a competing candidate

Placeholders
