Sending a rejection to an applicant is probably not one of your favorite tasks. Nevertheless, it is one of the most important tasks in recruitment. Why? Rejections are also part of recruitment marketing. And more importantly, applicants have taken the time and effort to apply, so this is expected by the company.

A rejection without a reason leaves the applicant uncertain, so a reason with individual elements should be included in the rejection.

Your advantages:

  • Template as Word
  • Various sample templates for rejection letters
  • Sample templates especially for apprenticeship applications
