Document background
The Job Rejection After Interview letter is a crucial document in the German hiring process that serves to formally conclude an unsuccessful application procedure following one or more interviews. It must be drafted in accordance with German labor laws, particularly the AGG (General Equal Treatment Act) and GDPR requirements, while maintaining professional courtesy. This document is typically used when an organization has completed its interview process and selected another candidate, or decided not to fill the position. The letter should be sent promptly after the decision is made and must avoid any discriminatory language while providing clear closure to the application process. It may also include information about data retention policies and the possibility of future opportunities, depending on the organization's practices and interest in the candidate.
