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 Missouri.

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 looking to maintain a positive relationship with job applicants will find this letter essential. Sending a rejection letter can foster goodwill, encouraging candidates to apply for future openings, thus enhancing the company's reputation in the job market.
  • In situations where a company needs to document its hiring decisions, this letter serves as an important record. By establishing a formal rejection process, organizations can protect themselves from potential claims of discrimination or unfair hiring practices.
  • Human resources departments may require this letter to ensure compliance with best practices in recruitment. Having a standardized rejection letter helps streamline the hiring process and ensures that all applicants receive consistent communication regarding their application status.

  • Companies that are frequently hiring may benefit from using this letter as part of their recruitment toolkit. By having a ready-to-use template, they can quickly respond to applicants, saving time while maintaining professionalism.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate in cases where the applicant has been disqualified due to a lack of qualifications or failure to meet specific job requirements. In such situations, a more direct communication may be necessary.
  • โ€“ If the hiring process is still ongoing and no final decision has been made, sending a rejection letter would be premature. It's important to wait until all candidates have been evaluated before communicating any outcomes.
  • โ€“ In instances where the rejection is due to sensitive or confidential information, a standard rejection letter may not be suitable. Alternative communication methods should be considered to handle such situations delicately.
  • โ€“ For companies that have a policy of not informing applicants of their status, using this letter would contradict their established practices. It's essential to align communication methods with company policy.
  • โ€“ If the rejection is part of a larger legal or compliance issue, a rejection letter may not be the best approach. Legal counsel should be consulted to determine the appropriate course of action in such cases.
