Response to Job Application Email
When writing a response to a job application, you should always try to remain polite, whether the applicant is shortlisted or not. You can start the email by informing the status of candidate’s application, while mentioning the position they had applied for.
In the second and the third paragraph, you can state the details about further steps involved in the selection process, if the candidate cleared the first phase. Otherwise, motivate the candidate to apply for other jobs.
You can then conclude the email by wishing the candidate best of luck for their future job search, or for the test they qualified for.
