Is there an amount of time you legally have to give someone to consider an offer? One of our execs thinks you have to give someone 7 days to sign the offer letter.

There are no laws governing this. Seven calendar days is what some companies choose to give, some companies give other amounts, and some companies give none at all. It's all legal.

Daily Q&A
How to Address Flagging Motivation?
How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
