You can now streamline your hiring workflow by setting up signable Offer Templates directly in your Screenloop account.
This feature allows you to pre-configure e-signable documents, email messages, and expiration settings, saving your team time and ensuring consistency across all offers.
Who can use this? Admins only
1. Create an Offer Template
Navigate to Settings > Offer Templates
From here, you can view all previously created templates or start to create your first offer template.
To create a new Offer Template
Click the Add Offer Template button at the top right of the page.
You’ll then need tocomplete three key sections:
Offer Template Details
Documents
Email Message
1.1 Offer Template Details
This section defines the basic structure and metadata of your template. You'll need to complete the following:
Name
Give your template a clear, descriptive name that makes it easy to identify later (e.g. “Senior Engineering Offer - UK”).
Template Type
Choose to:Custom (Start from scratch)
Based on a template (Duplicate and start from an existing template)
Pro tip: Using an existing template is helpful if most of the content will remain unchanged.
Days to Expiration
Specify the duration for which the offer remains valid. Once the expiry period elapses, the offer will automatically expire.
A few things to note:
If your document includes the {{{offer_expiration_date}}} variable, you must set the 'Days to Expiration' field to save the template.
If the variable is not present and no days are filled in, no expiry date will be set.
1.2 Documents
This is where you upload the documents your candidates will receive and sign, plus define any company signatories.
Company Signatory
Select who from your company is responsible for signing the offer.If your document includes the {{{company_signature}}} variable:
You must select at least one company signatory.
If only one signatory is added, by default they will receive the offer to be signed.
If multiple signatories are added, the sender can choose which signatory receives the offer, at the time of sending.
If the {{{company_signature}}} variable is not included, no company signature is required and the offer will go directly to the candidate.
Document Variables
You can use default and custom variables to personalise your offer documents.
Default variables include: {{{candidate_signature}}}, {{{start_date}}}, {{{salary}}}, etc. A full list can be found in the table below.
Custom variables can be created by inserting your terms in triple curly braces, e.g. {{{office_location}}}, and must follow the following conventions:
Must be in the Latin alphabet
Must contain no spaces
Underscores need to be used to replace spaces
When sending the offer, users will be prompted to fill in all variables that are not pre-filled (default and customs ones).
Offer Document
Upload your main offer document in .docx format (max size: 2MB).
We’ll automatically validate if:All required variables are present (e.g. {{{candidate_signature}}})
The syntax is correct (triple braces, Latin alphabet)
Here’s a sample Word doc you can customise: offer signature template.docx
Additional Documents
Attach any supporting documents like NDAs or benefits overviews.
Note: If the offer document uses the {{{company_signature}}} variable, all additional docs must also be signed.
