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 Virginia.

This packet includes:

Use This Form If:

  • Employers may need to send an Applicant Rejection Letter to maintain a professional relationship with candidates who were not selected for a position. This practice can enhance the company's reputation and encourage future applications from the same candidates.
  • Organizations looking to establish a formal rejection process can utilize this letter to ensure consistency in their hiring practices. By documenting the rejection, they can protect themselves from potential legal claims related to discrimination or unfair hiring practices.
  • Human Resources departments often require a template for rejection letters to streamline the communication process with applicants. This helps ensure that all candidates receive timely and respectful notifications about their application status.

  • For businesses aiming to comply with employment regulations, using an Applicant Rejection Letter can serve as a record of their hiring decisions. This documentation may be essential in case of audits or disputes regarding the hiring process.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate when the applicant has been selected for a position. In such cases, a job offer letter should be issued instead.
  • โ€“ If the rejection is due to specific legal issues, such as discrimination claims, it is advisable to consult with legal counsel before sending any communication.
  • โ€“ Situations where the company has a policy of not responding to applicants should avoid using this letter, as it contradicts the intent of providing feedback.
  • โ€“ In cases where the hiring process is still ongoing, sending a rejection letter may cause confusion among candidates who are still being considered for the role.
