An employment/job rejection letter is a document sent out to individuals who have applied for a particular job but were not chosen for the position. A rejection letter is typically completed by human resources (HR) and will replace the need for a phone conversation with the rejected applicant. However, some companies might only receive a handful of applicants during a calendar year and will find it isn’t necessary to send out rejection letters.
Larger companies with enormous staff will likely have a very high turnover, which will lead to a plethora of applicants. Rejecting a vast number of individuals can take a long time, making the rejection letter a quick, efficient tool for letting individuals know they did not get the position. The template provided here contains all the necessary information for breaking the news to the rejected applicant.
