An employment or job rejection letter is a simple letter that a hiring manager/recruiter sends out on behalf of an employer to applicants for a specific job. It’s designed to let the applicant know that the company won’t be moving forward with the hiring process with them at this time. It’s a time-saving exercise for people in the recruitment department and eliminates the need to call each applicant.
Of course, the need for employment rejection letters is relative. Larger companies that have many applicants may reject someone right now but it’s possible that they will improve later and become an asset. If the applicant had a good impression of the company, they may reapply.
The template provided on this page will help you craft a rejection letter that has all the needed components while remaining polite and professional.
