Clear decisions begin with the right checks.

Verify the employer, offer terms, work design and personal trade-offs before signing or resigning.

Verify the offer route

  • Employer and sender domain
  • Named role and manager
  • Formal documents through an expected system
  • No request to move money or buy equipment from a named vendor

Reconcile every compensation term

Check base currency, pay frequency, variable-pay conditions, benefits, leave, probation, equipment, reimbursement and review timing.

Confirm the operating model

  • Eligible work location
  • Required overlap
  • Travel and office days
  • Monitoring or security requirements
  • Notice and termination terms

Compare and decide

Use the offer comparator for quantifiable value and a separate preference score. Resolve material inconsistencies before signing.
