Rejection Letter
What is a Rejection Letter?
A Rejection Letter notifies an applicant that they have not been chosen to fill a position.
Why send a rejection letter?
- It is a courtesy to show your appreciation for the applicant's time.
- May leave candidates feeling resolved.
- Sending this type of communication (although it is not the best news) will most likely leave the applicant with good feelings towards the company and they may return as a customer or applicant in the future.
Communication with applicants is hugely important to your brand and your ability to have positive future recruiting experiences...even if it isn't completely positive.
