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 New York.

Use This Form If:

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for situations where the company has not yet completed the hiring process. Sending a rejection letter prematurely can confuse candidates and damage the company's reputation.
  • โ€“ If the rejection is due to a legal issue, such as discrimination or bias, it is advisable to consult legal counsel before sending any communication. Using a standard rejection letter in such cases may not be appropriate.
