Sample Rejection Letter to Job Applicant

Dear (Name of Applicant):
We appreciate you applying for the position of (specify) at ABC Company.
Unfortunately we interviewed many applicants in the job search process and hired another individual whose credentials and qualifications were better suited for our needs.
Thus we will not be offering you the position, but thank you for your interest.
If a need arises for us to contact you in the future, we will do so and you have our continued good wishes.
Very truly yours,
HR Professional
A rejection letter entails a few things. It should first of all include the applicants name and what they were applying for. The letter should be written to let the applicant down nicely so that is not rude. When writing a rejection letter try not to write anything that can be taking the wrong way. The letter should be clear though so the applicant is clear whether they have received the job or not. If possible you can include something to help out the applicant in the future or leave it on a good note; like in this one. Rejecting some one on a good note helps keep a friendship between the applicant and the employer.

I like your red writing & your video!
ReplyDeleteDaniel,
ReplyDeleteI thought that your post was rather short. You included some good points, but could have been more specific, possibly add more examples.I was also missing some of your own voice. Try to incorporate more of your own personality and experience in your writing.I found the video very helpful, it added some good information to think about, when being rejected by an employer.Overall a good post. Keep it up!
Good write-up but the mixing of font color's threw me a little off. Don't know if you did this to separate two different thought or what. But good job none the less.
