How long does an offer letter take ?

[Hmovingforward]

Hi all !

I interviewed for a role on 27th , then got a phone call offering me the role in the morning the next day. When discussing everything needed for onboarding I asked what the timeframe was for the offer letter and hr said they would send it by Monday(today).

I haven’t received anything so wondering when would be appropriate to send a follow up email in regards to the offer letter? Not sure if I’m just extremely paranoid as this has happened before and I ended up without a job 😱

thanks in advance.😀

I do completely get the feeling! You just want it to arrive and to be more set in stone. I don’t think tommorow would be unreasonable to chase?

I would wait till wait Wed/Thurs.
They said to send out by Mon, they may have only sent it in the post today.

Are you referring to a physical letter? If it was only offered and accepted on Thursday, bear in mind that it's only been 2 working/business days so far (one of which is today - when they indicated it might go out by) I really wouldn't have expected to receive it yet at all.

If it went out today you'll receive it this week, midweek onwards if 2nd class, a day earlier if 1st.

If it's supposed to be via email then I'd probably enquire towards the back end if the week if I'd heard nothing but I wouldn't be concerned at the current time, it's not been long at all.

Onboarding?

Yes that’s what HR called it

Sorry meant to say email 😀. I’ll wait till the end of the week and see what happens.

Sorry I meant to say offer email ! 🤕

In my place the recruiting manager says they'll get the letter out next week, and HR takes two weeks longer

I personally would check on Weds or Thurs, very politely.
