Document background
The Regret Letter After Interview is a crucial document in the recruitment process, used when an organization needs to formally communicate a negative hiring decision to a candidate who has completed the interview stage. This document, which must comply with Hong Kong's employment and privacy laws, serves multiple purposes: it provides closure to candidates, maintains professional relationships, protects the organization from potential legal claims, and ensures proper handling of personal data under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. The letter should be sent promptly after the decision is made and must be carefully worded to avoid any implications of discriminatory practices while maintaining professionalism and consideration for the candidate's time and effort.
