What is an appointment letter?
An appointment letter, commonly known as a job offer letter is written by the employer when he decides to recruit someone on a post in his company.
When to write an appointment letter?
There is a proper recruitment process that is followed by every company. At the end of the recruitment process, the company decides to recruit people on available vacancies based on their skills, qualifications, and interview. The selected candidates are sent the appointment letter which lets them know that the company has selected them and their employment at the company is about to start.
It is important to note that the appointment letter is not only for those people who are outside of the company and hunting for the job. Rather, if there is an employee already working on a post and you want that employee to appointment to a new post, you can write him an appointment letter.
