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 Minnesota.

This packet includes:
(1) Instructions and Checklist for the Applicant Rejection Letter;
(2) Information regarding the Applicant Rejection Letter;
(3) the Applicant Rejection Letter.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Employers may find it necessary to send an Applicant Rejection Letter to maintain a professional relationship with candidates. This practice can enhance the company's reputation and encourage applicants to consider future job openings.
  • In situations where a company has received numerous applications, a formal rejection letter helps streamline the communication process. It provides clarity to candidates about their application status and demonstrates the company's commitment to transparency.
  • Organizations aiming to establish a robust hiring process should implement a rejection letter protocol. This not only fosters goodwill but also serves as a protective measure against potential claims of discrimination from rejected applicants.
  • For HR departments, sending rejection letters is a crucial part of the hiring workflow. It ensures that all candidates are informed of their application outcomes, which can lead to improved candidate experiences and positive employer branding.
  • When a company is faced with legal scrutiny regarding hiring practices, having a documented rejection process, including the use of rejection letters, can serve as evidence of fair treatment and adherence to employment laws.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate when the rejection is due to legal reasons, such as discrimination based on race, gender, or disability. In such cases, a more careful approach is required to avoid legal repercussions.
  • โ€“ If the applicant is being considered for another position within the company, sending a rejection letter for the current application may not be suitable. Instead, communication should focus on the potential for future opportunities.
  • โ€“ In situations where the hiring process is still ongoing, it is premature to send rejection letters. Candidates should be kept informed until a final decision is made.
  • โ€“ When dealing with applicants who have been previously informed of their rejection through other means, such as a phone call or email, sending a formal letter may be redundant and unnecessary.
  • โ€“ If the company has a policy against sending rejection letters, using this form would contradict internal guidelines and could lead to confusion among HR staff.
