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 Wisconsin.

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

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Employers may need to send an Applicant Rejection Letter to maintain a positive relationship with candidates who were not selected. This practice can foster goodwill, encouraging rejected applicants to consider future job openings with the company.
  • In situations where a company has a formal hiring process, utilizing an Applicant Rejection Letter ensures that all candidates receive consistent communication. This helps to establish a professional standard and can mitigate potential claims of unfair hiring practices.
  • For organizations looking to document their hiring decisions, an Applicant Rejection Letter serves as a record of communication with candidates. This documentation can be beneficial in case of disputes or claims regarding the hiring process.
  • Companies aiming to enhance their employer brand may use Applicant Rejection Letters to convey respect and professionalism. By informing candidates of their application status, the company demonstrates its commitment to treating all applicants fairly.
  • In compliance with employment regulations, businesses may be required to notify candidates of their application status. An Applicant Rejection Letter fulfills this obligation, ensuring that the company adheres to legal standards in the hiring process.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate in cases where the hiring decision is still pending. If the selection process is ongoing, sending a rejection letter may confuse candidates and lead to misunderstandings about their application status.
  • โ€“ In situations where the company has a policy against providing feedback to applicants, an Applicant Rejection Letter may not be suitable. If the company does not wish to engage in communication about the hiring process, it is better to refrain from sending such letters.
  • โ€“ If the rejection is due to a specific legal issue, such as discrimination claims, it is advisable to consult legal counsel before sending any rejection letters. In such cases, the communication must be handled carefully to avoid potential legal repercussions.
  • โ€“ For internal candidates who are not selected for a position, a different communication approach may be more appropriate. Internal candidates often require a more personalized and constructive feedback process rather than a standard rejection letter.
