Decline To Interview Recommended Applicant

Decline To Interview Recommended Applicant. The job market is ever fluctuating and candidates with a good recommendation are indeed a find.

However, with hiring freezes, downsizing and poor or slow business, new hires aren’t always plausible. This cover letter explains a potential reason for not being able to interview a recommended applicant.

The tone of the letter is professional, acknowledges the consideration, and reassures interest for future consideration.

Having been away from the office for a few days, I didn'tread your letter of May 19th until today.

While I am sure the young man you wrote to me aboutwouldn't warrant the recommendation you gave unless he istruly exceptional, I believe it would be unfair to him toset up an interview at this time.

We have just had to lay off twenty four employees and thereis no way that I could justify hiring someone new underthose circumstances. We anticipate that business shouldimprove over the next six months, but for now, the timingis off.

I am sorry to have to disappoint you. You know, under theright circumstances, we are always looking for bright youngpeople with potential.

Thank you for thinking of us.
