Candidates love it when you keep them posted on the status of their application throughout your hiring process.

The quicker you communicate, the better their experience will be with your company. Communication alone can influence whether or not they accept a job offer.

Send this email template to the successful candidate after the interview email template when you have chosen to move on to the last step of the hiring process.

While it is very important to send a letter to job candidates who were not accepted for the open position, it is also essential to inform a successful candidate right away. Applicants may move on to a position with another company if they are not prompt in their response.
