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 Michigan.

This packet includes:

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Employers may need to send an Applicant Rejection Letter after completing the hiring process for a specific position. This formal communication helps maintain a positive relationship with candidates who were not selected, potentially encouraging them to apply for future openings.

  • In the event of a high volume of applicants, an Applicant Rejection Letter can streamline communication. This ensures that all candidates receive timely feedback, which is essential for maintaining a positive candidate experience.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate in situations where the rejection is due to legal issues, such as discrimination claims. In such cases, it is advisable to consult legal counsel before communicating with the applicant.
  • โ€“ If the hiring process is still ongoing and candidates have not yet been notified of their status, sending a rejection letter would be premature and could lead to confusion.
