Job Rejection Letter

If you want to reject an applicant politely, how should you do it?

• Make sure they know as soon as possible. Before letting any other candidates know that they won't be moving forward, many people like to wait until they have hired or found the most suitable candidate.
• Send an individual rejection letter.
• It should be short and sweet.
• Don't hide anything.
