As described in a separate question, this is something given to recruits in a 内定式. The 内定証書授与式 (another term I have to come up with a translation for) is part of that larger 内定式. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Comment: "Perfect. Thanks very much to all of you. I ended up using this choice for 内定証書 by itself and Kurt Hammond's suggestion in 内定証書授与式, as "conferment of offer letters." (These were two separate sentences in the translation.) Lots of great ideas, though. Thanks!"

presentation of pre-employment certificates
In a common law context (where I'm from), handing over an official-looking certificate constitutes a binding contract, but Japanese employers have been known to change their minds. I've never heard of them paying compensation, however.
I don't like the "certificate" bit--again because our Anglo-Saxon tradition focuses on the "contract" aspect.

New employment confirmation paper
As I said in the answer to your another question, Naitesha is an would-be employee. A Japanese company gives a paper stating that s/he was chosen to work for the company as a result of selection process (passed both written test and interview test, etc.). Purpose of this paper is to confirm the passing of the tests and confirmation of promised employment. The company issue a paper to that effect. So if you say "certificate" it sounds you got some qualification. This is not a good choice.
Again this kind of stuff is very specific to Japanese society, you must be very careful about what you say.
Otherwise most English natives don't understand what you are saying.

Employment Candidacy Certificate
I think "certificate" can mean anything in English depending on what words you put in front of it. In this case, it means "a piece of official-seeming paper."
