Say 'no thanks' the right way with this sample rejection letter

Tags: html

Overview It's a good practice to let job candidates know when they haven't gotten the job. Use this sample thanks-but-no-thanks letter to build goodwill with people who may be a better match for future positions.

One of the least pleasant aspects of the hiring process is conveying to candidates your decision to pass them over. But if you've decided to eliminate someone from contention for a particular spot, it's professional courtesy to let that person know. It's also a good business practice to handle the matter with honesty and respect, since a strong candidate who isn't right for your current opening might one day be a valuable employee in a different position.

This friendly and matter-of-fact letter will help you find the best way to impart the news that a candidate is no longer under consideration for a job. You can tailor it to include details that are relevant to the position and the individual.
