■スクリプト
Naruse: Congratulations, Ao! I'm happy to share some good news with you. After the final interview, we'd like to offer you the position of Sales Manager. Everyone was very impressed.
Ao: Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that. It means a lot to me.
Naruse: You earned it. Today, I'd like to walk you through the details of our offer, and please feel free to ask any questions along the way.
Ao: Sure, I appreciate that.
Naruse: First, about the compensation. For the Sales Manager role, we're offering an annual salary of six million yen, which includes a performance-based bonus. Based on your experience, we think this reflects your value well.
Ao: That sounds reasonable. May I ask how the bonus is decided?
Naruse: Of course. The bonus depends on both company performance and your individual results. On average, it's about two months' salary per year, but strong performers can earn more.
Ao: That makes sense. I have one more question about the start date. Would it be possible to start in three months? I'd like to hand over my current responsibilities properly.
Naruse: That's completely understandable. Three months is fine. We value people who take their current duties seriously, so please take the time you need.
Ao: Thank you for being so flexible. That really helps.
Naruse: Not at all. Is there anything else you'd like to know? Benefits, work style, anything at all?
Ao: Actually, could you tell me about the remote work policy?
Naruse: Sure. We offer a hybrid style. You can work from home up to three days a week, and the rest in the office.
Ao: That's perfect for me. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly.
Naruse: Wonderful. Then, if you're happy with the terms, I'll prepare the official offer letter. Once you've had a chance to review it, please sign and return it to us.
Ao: I'd be glad to. I've read through the main terms today, and everything sounds great. I'll sign the offer letter and send it back by the end of this week.
Naruse: Perfect. Welcome aboard, Ao. We're all looking forward to working with you.
