You can use the Expiration in Days field to define the expiration date for each offer letter that you create.
This field gives you the flexibility to determine the expiration date for each offer letter you create. For example, customers that recruit from college campuses need the ability to extend offers of employment to students a year or more ahead of when they graduate and are available to start work. In another example, some heavily sought after candidates might negotiate a delayed offer response due to personal or professional reasons and might not be in the position to make a major career decision within one week's time.
The Expiration in Days field has the following features and attributes:
- When you initiate a new offer, the field is preset to seven days, and you can edit it as needed.
- You can enter a minimum value of one day and a maximum value of 730 days (that is, two years).
- As in the previous release, the countdown for expiry begins on the day that the system sends the offer to the candidate. For example, if you enter seven days, and you send the offer on Monday June 6th, the offer expires at 12:00 AM on Monday June 13th.
- If you save an offer as a template, the number of days that you enter in the new Expiration in Days field is saved as part of your template.
- The date and time is displayed in the user’s local time when they view the offer letter.
Note: The expiration date isn’t automatically communicated to the candidate in the offer letter. If needed, you can communicate this to the candidate in the text of the offer letter.
