So you found a promising candidate, and you think they might be a good fit for your organization. Make sure to act quickly by giving them a verbal offer. Let them know your intentions and what your expectations are, highlight why your company is a good place for them to grow professionally, and discuss the salary. Be friendly, honest, and open to negotiations, just as you would expect your new hire. If you’re on the same page with everything else, create an employment contract to finalize things.
That said, you might want to use a service called employment verification API to ensure that this candidate doesn’t have a criminal background and that the employment history they submitted is accurate. Some employers might forgive minor misdemeanors and it’s totally up to you whether you want to or not, but it’s good to have that information before you welcome anyone in your institution. You can find out more about this employment service here.
