Conditional offer
Formal Neutral
What it really means
A job offer that only stands if certain checks pass — for example references, a DBS check, right-to-work proof or health screening. Don't hand in your notice until the conditions are cleared.
Chinese explanation
有条件录用（conditional offer）：仅在若干核查通过后才成立的录用——例如推荐证明、DBS 核查、工作许可证明或健康检查。条件清除前，别急着递辞呈。
Example conversation
A: Should I quit my current job now I've got the offer?
B: Wait — it's a conditional offer until your references clear.
A：我拿到 offer 了，现在该辞掉现职吗？
B：等等——推荐证明通过前它只是有条件录用。
