What's the difference between accepting a letter of intent and offering in job hunting?

The letter of intent for admission can be said to be an olive branch thrown by the enterprise to the applicant, and the applicant needs to answer whether it is willing or not, while the offer is the formal employment notice given by the enterprise after the letter of intent for admission gets the exact answer from the applicant.

Generally, the information conveyed by the letter of intent for admission is relatively simple. Generally, you will say "Congratulations on successfully passing the recruitment interview in XXX" or "Congratulations on being hired by our XXX department", and then you will be given an option to agree or reject at last. From the literal point of view, it is not difficult to see that the letter of intent is a tool to express intention, purpose and intention. Generally, it is sent to the candidate before the official offer is issued by the enterprise, and then the agreement is reached with the candidate. The letter of intent will not reflect other detailed information of the position, such as salary, specific job requirements, etc.

Offer is the formal employment notice given by the enterprise after the agreement is reached between the enterprise and the applicant. The information reflected in the offer is more comprehensive and specific. Common information includes: name of accepting enterprise, name of department and name of post; Wages and benefits, including basic salary, bonus commission, and some enterprises also have options and equity; List of materials required for registration, time and place of registration, and who to report to; Requirements of probation period and application rules of probation evaluation results, etc. Generally speaking, when you get an offer, it means that the company agrees to formally hire the candidate. Candidates can put their hearts in their stomachs to make sure that they are really hired, or they can prepare the materials needed for registration as required.

However, in practice, some candidates got the offer, but when they didn't report it, they were unilaterally broken by the company. In this case, candidates can take out legal weapons to safeguard their own interests, and they can apply for arbitration and demand compensation from enterprises. In the existing cases, enterprises basically lose in arbitration.
