Offer Letter & Comp Package Generation

Offer letters and comp summaries generated from your approved bands and equity models - placement on the band rail visible before the letter ships, sign-off ladder routed automatically, and a candidate experience that doesn't take 9 days to land an envelope.

What the managed workflow does

Configures within the band

Base, bonus, sign-on, and equity components priced against your approved L-band - every offer's placement on the rail (floor / target / ceiling) is visible to recruiter, hiring manager, and CFO before the letter goes out.

Drafts the letter

Annotated letter assembled from your house template - role, comp, equity, benefits, IP, at-will - with jurisdiction-specific clauses (CA · NY · UK · DE) auto-inserted from the candidate's locale.

Routes the sign-off ladder

Recruiter → Hiring Manager → CFO → CEO - each gate triggers automatically when the offer crosses its threshold, with SLA tracking and SLA-miss escalation built in.

Lands signature-ready

On approval, ships to DocuSign with the right MSA + IP appendix attached, the ATS updates, and HRIS staging is triggered for pre-onboarding the moment candidate signs.

Inputs to the offer

  • Approved comp band. Per-level $-band with floor / target / ceiling and component splits - base, bonus, equity - read live, not screen-shotted from a spreadsheet.

  • Equity model + 409a. Grant size by level + current 409a fair value drive equity dollar values shown to candidate at offer time.

  • Job spec + role context. Role, level, manager, location, and start-date pulled from the req - not retyped - so jurisdictional clauses auto-correct.

  • Loop debrief + offer rec. Hiring panel's level recommendation + comp guidance sit alongside the letter so the sign-off ladder has full context.

Routed to

  • Drafted offer letter. Full letter assembled from your template, with comp components, equity, jurisdiction-specific clauses, and signature blocks ready.

  • Sign-off ladder. Recruiter → HM → CFO → CEO with SLA tracking and automatic escalation when an approval stalls past its window.

  • DocuSign · signature. On final approval, ships to DocuSign with MSA + IP + benefits appendix bundled correctly per geography.

  • HRIS pre-onboarding. On signature, HRIS staging triggers - payroll setup, IT provisioning, and onboarding plan generation all kick off automatically.

What you get, every week

Offer-out cycles measured in hours, not days

Median time-from-debrief-to-offer-sent drops from 9 days to under 24 hours - momentum doesn't die in a 'waiting on CFO sign-off' email thread.

Comp discipline you can defend

Every offer's band placement is logged. Comp committee gets a quarterly distribution view - over- and under-band offers visible before they stack into a parity problem.

An audit trail that's already complete

Every approval, every override, every jurisdiction clause logged with rationale - bias audits, EEO, and comp-committee prep are reading, not reassembly.
