Sample Email Rejection Letters for Job Applicants

Sample Email Rejection Letters for Job Applicants Sample Email Rejection Letters for Job Applicants As a job applicant, nothing is worse than hearing nothing from a prospective employer, so its important to communicate with applicants throughout this process. Job applicants who are not selected for an interview deserve a rejection letter so that they can move on with their job search. For every job you post you likely will receive more applications than you can handle. Responding to all of these job applicants is time-consuming. But your emailed response marks you as a desirable employer of choice. Your email rejection letter encourages a potential employee to apply again when you post another position for which the applicant may qualify. Here are several sample job applicant rejection letters you can customize for the people you dont select for a job interview. Note: Since many of these applications arrive via email, a job applicant rejection letter via email is acceptable.
