Document background
The Unsuccessful Letter is a critical document in the Australian recruitment process, used to formally communicate to job applicants that their application has not been successful. It must comply with Australian employment law, privacy regulations, and anti-discrimination legislation while maintaining professional standards and protecting the organization's interests. The document should be used after a recruitment decision has been made and requires careful consideration of content to avoid potential legal issues while providing clear communication. The letter typically includes acknowledgment of the application, notification of the outcome, and may include appropriate feedback or encouragement for future opportunities. It serves both as a professional courtesy and a formal record of the recruitment process outcome.
