The Salary Expectations Too High Rejection Letter is a crucial document in the Dutch recruitment process, used when there is a significant disparity between a candidate's salary requirements and the organization's budgeted compensation for the position. This document is typically employed after initial interviews or salary discussions reveal an unbridgeable gap between the parties' expectations. In the Netherlands, where transparency in business communications is valued and protected by law, this letter must be clear yet diplomatic, adhering to both Dutch labor law and privacy regulations (GDPR/AVG). It serves as an official record of the recruitment decision while maintaining professional relationships and protecting against potential discrimination claims by focusing solely on the objective criterion of salary expectations.
