Document background
The Internal Candidate Rejection document is essential for organizations operating in Canada that promote internal mobility and career development. It is used when an existing employee has applied for another position within the organization but was not selected. The document must comply with Canadian federal and provincial employment laws, including human rights legislation, privacy laws, and workplace fairness requirements. It typically includes the decision, appreciation for the candidate's interest, constructive feedback elements, and encouragement for future opportunities. The sensitive nature of internal rejections requires careful consideration of employee morale, potential legal implications, and the ongoing working relationship. This document helps maintain transparency in the hiring process while protecting both the organization and the employee's interests.
