We did this a bit at a previous workplace. Essentially sending out a formal offer letter involved a lot of HR, approval meetings and exec sign offs. If the person wasn't interested there was no point in going to the effort.
Just corporate procedure and trying to save busy-work.
- ledauphin 4y agothis makes plenty of sense to me. It certainly wasn't my goal to make extra work for them, and I value efficiency! At the same time, the other company was willing to do that extra work upfront, which made me feel like they actually wanted me to come. I think I might've felt a little differently about it had the recruiter been transparent and said something about the work involved. Then again, at the end of the day, we had all done quite a lot of work to get to that point. Not being willing to do the final steps suggests (to me) a lack of commitment to the offer.
