Most employers don’t give a second thought to how it’s crafted. Yet a few forward thinking companies have figured out that even the lowly rejection email is your final chance to make a good “last impression” during the candidate experience.

Case in point is Rejobify client BURNCO, based in Canada. They have had our rejection email service in place for more than a year now and regularly get responses from grateful job seekers who take the time to send their thanks for helping them move on with their job search.

Here’s a sample of what they said. These are direct quotes sent to us by their Talent Acquisition Manager;

• “I am so impressed with this kind reply and the community spirit these words reflect.  I'll be sure to investigate the link you have taken the time to share.”  
• “Thank you. I appreciate what you have done to make my search easier.” 
• “I appreciate the response. Thank you for being so kind and offering the help that you have.” 
• “Thank you for your response.  It makes such a difference as an applicant.”

Aren’t these replies refreshing to read? By simply providing some job search resources and free advice to the ones you can’t hire, any employer can turn a negative experience into a positive one.
