Document background
The Formal Rejection Letter For Job Offer is a critical document in New Zealand's recruitment process, used when an organization needs to formally communicate a negative hiring decision to a job applicant. This document must comply with New Zealand's employment legislation, including the Human Rights Act 1993, Privacy Act 2020, and Employment Relations Act 2000. It serves multiple purposes: providing clear communication of the hiring decision, maintaining professional relationships with candidates, protecting the organization from potential legal issues, and ensuring proper documentation of the recruitment process. The letter typically follows a rejection decision made after reviewing applications or conducting interviews and should be sent in a timely manner to maintain professional courtesy.
