A recruitment freeze can occur for many different reasons. It is a strategic measure employed by companies during financial stress, economic downturn or when there is the desire to exercise caution. The decision will be made by the senior leadership team and can either be short or long term, dependent upon the known constraints. Essentially, this is used when an organisation wishes to cease hiring new employees.
This Sample: Recruitment Freeze Email to Internal Hiring Managers and Leaders can be sent to internal hiring managers and leaders to help them understand why the organisation is implementing a recruitment freeze. Employers may also consider posting a standard statement on the careers page of their website and the intranet of the business to ensure that existing employees understand this. Organisations may also choose to use this sample template to send to existing candidates who have already applied with the business prior to the need to implement the freeze.
