Understanding the Template Builder
You can build custom offer templates with merge fields, watermarks, company branding, etc. This section will detail how you can leverage the functionalities of our template builder (Powered by Zoho Writer) and design robust offer templates.
Merge Fields
In Zoho Recruit, Merge Fields are placeholders that automatically pull and display specific information from a candidate or client record in various documents, such as emails or templates. They streamline the process by dynamically filling in personalized details, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
For example: Imagine you want to send personalized emails to job candidates using a template. Instead of typing their names and other details individually, you can use merge fields. If you have a merge field like {Candidate.Name}, when you send an email, Zoho Recruit will automatically replace {Candidate.Name} with the actual name of the candidate in each email, based on the candidate's record in the system. This automation helps you send customized messages without manual data entry for every recipient.
While creating an offer template, you can add merge fields to it under Automate > Manage Fields. You can choose to include fields from Zoho Recruit and add them to your template with a single click. Additionally, you can even create new merge fields using the Create Field button and map it with your Zoho Recruit database.
Formula Fields
Formula Fields in offer templates allow you to automate calculations and dynamically populate values based on predefined logic. For example, you can use a formula to compute the total compensation by adding base salary, bonuses, and benefits. You can also format dates, calculate notice periods, or derive joining bonuses based on role or experience. These dynamic fields minimize manual errors, save time, and ensure that offer letters are always accurate and tailored to each candidate's details.
Conditional Rows
Conditional Text and Rows let you create intelligent offer templates that adapt based on the candidate’s role, location, or employment type. For instance, a relocation clause can be shown only if the candidate is moving cities, or stock option details can be included exclusively for leadership roles. By setting conditions that control the visibility of specific sections, you can personalize content at scale while maintaining a single template. This keeps your documents clean, relevant, and fully aligned with the offer context.
Header & Footer Presets
Headers and footers in offer letters are vital for maintaining a professional document format. With our template builder, you can add your company's logo, name, address, and contact information to the offer letter's header, establishing the document's official identity. Furthermore, additional details like page numbers, confidentiality disclaimers, or copyright information can be included to the footer section. These elements ensure consistency, enhance branding, and provide essential information, contributing to the professionalism and credibility of the offer letter.
Watermarks
Watermarks in offer letters serve as subtle, transparent background images or text overlaid on the document, adding a layer of security and professionalism. Watermarks are especially valuable for protecting sensitive information, discouraging unauthorized duplication, and reinforcing the confidentiality of the offer. They enhance the document's visual appeal while conveying essential messages, ensuring the integrity and security of the offer letter content. With our template builder, you can add a watermark to display phrases such as "Confidential" or "Draft" to indicate the document's status or importance.
Creating Offer Templates
- Navigate to Setup > Customization > Templates > Offer Templates and click Create Offer Template.
- You can store offer templates in dedicated folders (similar to email templates) for ease of access and quick sharing. Click Create Folder.
- Enter a Name and specify who (users, roles, groups, etc.) can access this folder. Click Save when you're done.
- Enter a Name for your template, select a Folder and choose a Design. For our example here, we'll be using a Blank template.

- If any of the added merge fields have not been mapped with Zoho Recruit, you will see this alert under the Automate section. Click Map now.
- In the Map Fields to Data Source pop-up, click the + icon and select the field you wish to map it with. Click Done.
- When you're finished, click Done again to finalize your template.
- The template will then be saved and can be used to generate offer letters for candidates.
- You can move offer templates to folders by click the Rename/Move option.
- In the pop-up, select the new folder in the Store Under field and click Save.
- Your template will then be moved to the designated folder, allowing you to dictate who can access them while generating offer letters.
Note: You cannot delete folders if it has templates stored in it. If you still wish to do so, kindly move all stored templates to another folder.
