The Interview Rejection Letter is a crucial business communication document used in the German job market to formally conclude the interview process with unsuccessful candidates. It serves multiple purposes: providing clear communication to the candidate, maintaining professional relationships, and ensuring legal compliance with German employment laws. The letter must be crafted in accordance with the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) to avoid discrimination claims, and the GDPR regarding personal data handling. It typically follows a structured format that includes appreciation for the candidate's interest, a clear but tactful rejection, and may include elements such as feedback offers or encouragement to apply for future positions. This document is particularly important in the German business context, where formal written communication is highly valued and legal compliance is strictly enforced.
