# Making an Offer to a Candidate
### **How to Make an Offer to a Candidate?**
**Path:** ESS Portal > Hire V2 > Candidates > Add/Manage
This guide explains how to create and send an offer to a candidate using the Make An Offer option in Hire V2.
**Before you begin**
* The candidate's profile must be created in Hire V2.
* The candidate must be at the Offer stage (or a stage where the offer functionality is configured).
* The relevant email template and CTC template must be set up in the system.
**Step 1:** Log in to the **ESS Portal**, open **Hire V2**, go to **Candidates**, then **Add/Manage**.
**Step 2:** Open the **candidate's profile**, And Move the candidate to the **Offer stage** (or the stage where Make an Offer is enabled).
**Step 3:** Click **Make an Offer**.
**Step 4:** Review the **candidate details**, select the **Offer Type** — **With** **CTC Calculation** or **Without** **CTC** **Calculation** — and click **Next** **Step**.
### **If you chose "With CTC Calculation"**
**Step 1:** Select the **CTC Template** and enter the **Monthly CTC Amount.**
**Step 2:** Click **Calculate**, verify the **generated Annexure**, then click **Next** **Step**.
**Step 3:** Select the **offer** **email** **template** (for example, \[**SPECIAL|COMPANYNAME] | OFFER ISSUED - \[JOB|TITLE]**).
**Step 4:** Confirm the **candidate's email address**, which is fetched automatically from the profile, and review the **email body** — making any changes if needed.
**Step 5:** Add **CC recipients** — select employees from the company, and enter any **additional email IDs** that should receive a copy, and Select the **Offer Expiry Date**.
**Step 6:** Choose how the **CTC is attached** — **Attachment File** (sends the Annexure in the Offer Letter PDF) or **Copy CTC Table in Email Body** (inserts the Annexure into the email body).
**Step 7:** Upload any additional documents to send with the offer letter, and Click **Send Offer** to issue the offer.
The Offer Letter PDF is generated automatically based on the selected CTC Template.
### **If you chose "Without CTC Calculation"**
**Step 1:** Select the **offer** **email template**, Confirm the **candidate's** **email** **address**, which is fetched automatically from the profile, and review the **email body** — making any changes if needed.
**Step 2:** Add **CC** **recipients** — select employees from the company, and enter any additional email IDs that should receive a copy, and Select the **Offer** **Expiry** **Date**.
**Step 3:** Upload any additional documents to send with the offer letter, and Click **Send Offer** to issue the offer.
**Important Notes**
* The candidate's email ID is fetched automatically from the profile.
* Make sure the selected email template has the correct offer content before sending.
* With CTC Calculation, always verify the generated Annexure before proceeding.
* The Offer Expiry Date sets how long the offer stays valid for the candidate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.pockethrms.com/ess-portal/recruiter/hire-v2/candidates/making-an-offer-to-a-candidate.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
