Common Mistakes

  • No at-will employment disclaimer — may imply guaranteed employment
  • Compensation stated without pay period (annual vs. hourly)
  • Missing offer expiration date — candidate may delay indefinitely
  • Benefits vague — "subject to plan documents" is often fine but may mislead
  • No IP and confidentiality acknowledgment reference
  • Equity / stock options described loosely without vesting terms reference
  • Title too vague — leads to role disputes
  • No contingencies stated (background check, reference, work authorization)
  • Missing reporting structure (who candidate reports to)
