An Applicant Rejection Letter is a letter informing a job applicant that he/she was not chosen for a particular position. It is a good idea for a company to have a practice of sending out these types of letters because: i) it produces some goodwill between the rejected applicant and the companyโ€”if another job comes up, the rejected applicant will be more likely to apply if in prior situations, he/she had been treated with respect by the company; and ii) by establishing a rejection procedure and record, the company may be able to protect itself from some claims by the rejected applicants.

This form can be used in Colorado.

This packet includes:
