A kind, clear rejection email that fits the stage the candidate reached.
Prompt preview
Write a rejection email to Sam for the Marketing Manager role. They made it to the final round and met several people on the team. Thank them for the significant time invested, acknowledge it was a close decision, and offer a short call if they'd like to hear more. Say we'd like to keep them in mind for future roles, and mean it: name the kind of role that could fit. No clichés like "after careful consideration" or "we had many qualified applicants". Under 150 words. I'm a recruiter at [Company], a [size]-person [industry] company. What candidates should know: [mission in one line], [work setup: remote / hybrid / on-site], [two standout benefits]. Use inclusive, plain language: no gendered words, no 'rockstar', 'ninja' or 'young and energetic', no culture-fit jargon, and never ask about or refer to age, family status, health, religion or nationality. Only list requirements that are truly required.
