Signing an employment contract

Updated: 2026-08-27

When a company hires you, the employment contract arrives in a private one-to-one chat between you and the company. You sign it by typing your full name — or you can decline. Only you can sign your contract.

Open the contract from your chat with the company.
Read the position, the terms and the salary — the salary comes from the job post's salary details.
Type your full name to sign, or decline the offer.

The company can change the contract only before you sign it. After your signature, the next step is theirs: they approve the contract.

What happens after approval

You join the company's workspace as a member, and the team chat welcomes you.
Onboarding tasks may be created for you.
Your employee record becomes active, with the salary from the contract.

If you signed and nothing has changed yet, the company has not approved the contract yet.

The contract record stays visible to you and to the company's admins and HR managers. The company can withdraw a contract before or after you sign, but not after it is approved.

What your application status means

Jobs & hiring · A job application starts as submitted, moves to reviewing or shortlisted while the employer considers it, and ends as hired or rejected. You get a notification each time the status changes, so you do not have to keep checking.

How employment contracts work

Hiring & contracts · When you mark an applicant as hired, Sebairo generates an employment contract and sends it to the candidate in a private one-to-one chat. The contract is built from the job post — the company, the position, the employment type, the workplace arrangement, and the salary from the job's salary details.

The HR conversation

Hiring & contracts · Hiring messages and employment contracts are delivered in a private one-to-one chat between the company and the candidate — the HR conversation. It is separate from the company's customer conversations and from the team group.

What an employer sees when you apply

Jobs & hiring · When you apply for a job, the employer sees your Sebairo profile plus your cover note — not anything from the CV Builder. The app calls this your career card: your name and photo, work title, education, skills, about, city and country, and whether you are open to work.
