An Employment Letter of Intent to Hire is commonly used in New Zealand as an interim document between candidate selection and formal employment agreement. It's particularly useful when there are pre-employment conditions to be met, such as reference checks, medical examinations, or visa requirements. The document typically includes proposed role details, anticipated start date, basic employment terms, and any conditions that need to be satisfied. While not legally binding as an employment agreement, it falls under New Zealand's employment law framework and must reflect good faith principles. This document helps maintain professional communication and clear expectations during the hiring process, while giving both parties time to fulfill necessary requirements before proceeding to a formal employment agreement.
