How to reject an applicant?

1. euphemistically said, "I'm really sorry. I just talked to the interviewer. He has an emergency meeting today, which may have to wait until next week."

2. Euphemism and directness. "I am very happy to share my resume and work experience with you. Through preliminary communication and testing, according to the requirements of the department and the head of the employing department, there is a big gap between your advantages and the requirements of the department. I am very sorry. "

3. Or simply say, "Mr. So-and-so, I'm very sorry, but the position we are recruiting requires some software experience. You really don't have relevant experience in this field after the exam, so you can only call it a day, thank you "; If you meet a candidate with a good temper, you may end up in silence. If you have a bad temper, come over for a few rounds of interviews, and you may lose your temper right away. This is a great feeling of "how do you know this?"

4. SMS and email notifications

The methods of SMS and email notification are commonly used by HR people because they don't have to face the candidates directly. The email can be written like this:

"First of all, thank you for attending an interview for a position organized by our company. We will inform you of the interview results in the same way within 7 working days (SMS and email at the same time). If you don't receive the notice within 7 days, it means that you failed in the interview. At that time, your resume will be kept in our talent pool. Please pay attention to keep the receiving equipment unblocked. "

Inform on the spot

At the end of the interview, it is not appropriate to tell the candidate "Sorry, your performance just now was excellent, but it is not suitable for our position". Some candidates will ask the reason at this time, and usually the answer is "poor job matching".

Telephone notification

After the general interview 1-2 working days, the applicant will be informed by phone, "Sorry, the position has been confirmed, and I will contact you again in the future."

It's normal to reject candidates, but have you considered these issues?

Be polite to every rejected candidate.

Someone may be the worst candidate you have ever met-unqualified, late for the interview and poorly dressed. You must refuse him. But he thinks he meets the requirements, so he is very angry with you.
