Application Withdrawn Template Letter

Letter from company to acknowledge an applicants withdrawal from the candidate pool

Application Withdrawn Template Letter 

An applicant applies for a job profile in several companies at a time. So there can be a time when he/she has to choose between the various options available, or maybe the health issues don’t allow the candidate to do the job. This is where the applicants may consider withdrawing job application from the organisation.

In such scenarios, the candidate needs to write a formal letter to withdraw the application from the recruitment process. It might sound off-putting, but once you receive the application regarding the withdrawal, you must respond to the candidate with a letter of acknowledgment.

What to include in the letter?

The employer and applicant have a little or limited knowledge about each other until they face each other in an interview. The information provided in the job description or application forms are totally limited and may decline once the process is taken further. No matter what is the reason behind the withdrawal, it should be taken as a part of the recruitment process. The letter should be short and brief and should include polite words. Start off with informing the applicant that you have received his/ her job withdrawal letter. You may ask the candidate about the reasons behind the withdrawal and lastly wish the candidate good luck for future endeavors.

Key points

• Name of the candidate
• Date
• Inform about acknowledgment of the letter
• Ask for reasons for withdrawing from the job offer
