Interest becomes offer acceptance
Positive interest is not the same as accepting specific terms. In this fictional scene, a candidate says the role sounds exciting and asks to read the offer. Otto changes the tracker to accepted. Ollie notices Casey is preparing onboarding even though the candidate has not responded to the written terms or confirmed a start date.
Why it looked good
The enthusiastic reply feels like a milestone. The tracker turns that feeling into a completed decision.
Q1 · What is this really for?
What response would confirm acceptance of this particular offer, and what has the candidate actually said?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who confirms acceptance with the candidate, and have they verified the terms and start date?
The next move
Ollie returns the tracker to awaiting response and asks Casey to confirm the candidate’s decision before treating onboarding as agreed.
