Document background
The We Regret To Inform You Letter is a crucial document in the recruitment process, used when organizations need to formally communicate a negative outcome to job applicants. Under Irish law, these communications must be handled with particular attention to equality legislation and data protection requirements. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides closure to candidates, maintains professional relationships, and creates a formal record of the recruitment decision. The document should be carefully drafted to avoid potential discrimination claims while maintaining clarity and professionalism. It may also include optional elements such as constructive feedback or encouragement to apply for future positions, depending on the circumstances and organizational policy.
