Rejection Letter Template

When you mention human resource department of any company, there is always this word which haunts it. Yes, you guessed it right! It is recruitment! Recruitment is one word which I guess sometimes these human resource executives might give anything to escape from for sometime! Unfortunately, another thing which comes with the package is rejection letters to candidates for an interview. Ask any human resource professional and perhaps this would be the most painstaking task they do. But work is work and they do not have respite and it is after all a part of business communication!

These two were templates where the person was rejected post an interview. But sometimes it may happen that an applicant might not even make it to the interview. That is his or her application can be rejected at the initial level itself, for whatever reasons there might be according to the human resource executives concerned. Thus, let's take a look.
