Send professional, e-signed offer letters from Team → Offer Letters. Offers are built from templates, previewed live as you fill them in, and tracked from draft through signature.
Offer letters are available to company owners.

​
Templates

Bolto ships four ready-to-use templates: Bolto-managed templates can’t be edited directly — instead, duplicate one into a custom template from the Templates page. Custom templates let you toggle optional sections on and off, rewrite individual paragraphs, and set default sender name and title. Activate a custom template to make it available when creating offers (template statuses: Draft → Active → Archived).
Bolto-managed templates are configurable starting points. Have your own legal counsel review any template before use — requirements vary by organization and jurisdiction.

​
Creating an offer

Click Create offer letter, pick a template, and fill in the form — the letter preview updates live, and your progress autosaves:
  • Candidate information — name and email
  • Employment details — job title, employment type (full-time / part-time, or project-based for contractors), start date (and optional end date for fixed-term contractor engagements), manager, and work location (remote / hybrid / on-site)
  • Compensation — salary or hourly for employees; project rate or hourly for contractors
  • Signing bonus (when the template includes it) — amount and repayment period
  • Offer terms — offer expiration date
  • Sender — name and title, pre-filled from the template’s defaults
  • Personal note — a short message included in the email to the candidate
Continue to Review & Send unlocks once every required field is complete.

​
Sending and signing

When you send an offer:
  1. Bolto freezes the letter exactly as reviewed and renders it to PDF
  2. The candidate receives an email — “Offer Letter — [candidate name]” — with your personal note as the message
  3. The candidate opens, reviews, and signs electronically
  4. The signed PDF is stored on the offer, downloadable any time

​
Offer statuses

The dashboard shows counts by status, with search and filters across all offers.

​
Managing sent offers

  • Resend offer (Sent/Viewed) — emails the candidate a fresh signing link; the previous link stops working
  • Void (Sent/Viewed) — withdraws the offer so it can no longer be signed; this can’t be undone
  • Duplicate (any offer) — clones everything into a new draft, handy for revised terms or similar roles
  • Edit — available for drafts, ready-to-send, and failed offers; offers that have been sent are locked
Two things to plan around: Bolto doesn’t send automatic reminders to candidates — use Resend offer to nudge — and the expiration date appears in the letter text but doesn’t automatically void the offer; use Void to withdraw one that’s lapsed.

After signing
