Automation has become instrumental in managing the recruitment process. It allows the manual work to be removed by using technology, digitalisation and pre prepared templates. Employers can use this resource as part of their automated system or manually use to effectively communicate with candidates.

This Sample: Unsuccessful Application Notification Email can be used to notify job applicants that they have been unsuccessful in being shortlisted for the position that they have applied for and should be adapted to suit the needs of the organisation and its processes.

Optional paragraphs are provided where the applicant is encouraged to apply for any future relevant roles, in circumstances where the organisation was impressed with the application and wishes to encourage further applications, or where the applicant is simply advised that they have been unsuccessful.
