Offer fields provide a record of a candidate offer, and provide values that can be used to generate additional documentation like offer letters and emails.
By default, Greenhouse Recruiting provides every organization with the following offer fields:
- Employment Type
- Offer Documents
- Start Date
However, job admins can also create custom offer fields to serve the needs of your organization.

Click the Configure icon in the upper right-hand corner. Select Custom Options from the left panel.
Click Offers under the Company Custom Fields section.
The Custom Fields: Offers page will list all of your organization's custom offer fields. To add a new custom offer field, click the Add Field button.
Define the new custom field by entering information in the available fields. See the table below for more information on the available options.
