Document background
The Simple Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in the Dutch hiring process, typically used as the first formal written communication extending an employment offer to a selected candidate. It serves as a bridge between verbal discussions and the formal employment agreement, providing key information about the position and employment terms while complying with Dutch employment law requirements. This document should be used when an organization has selected a candidate and wishes to formally present the terms of employment before proceeding with a detailed employment contract. The letter includes essential information such as position details, salary, benefits, start date, and basic working conditions, while remaining concise and clear. Under Dutch law, while the Simple Job Offer Letter is not a substitute for a formal employment agreement, it creates certain legal obligations and expectations between the parties once accepted.
