Draft a rejection letter with AI

Let AI draft the candidate-facing reason when you turn someone down, grounded in their screening, then edit it before you send.

For recruiters and hiring managers

What this does

A candidate-facing note, drafted from the screening

When you turn a candidate down you write them a reason. AI can draft that note for you, using their screening to ground it in what actually happened rather than in a generic template.

It never sends on its own and it never fills the field in by itself. You click to draft, you read what it wrote, you edit it, and you are the one who submits it.

Before you start

The candidate needs a finished screening

Like AI questions, the letter is written from a completed screening. If the candidate hasn't been screened, or a screening is still running, the draft button and its language picker aren't shown in the rejection dialog at all. You can still reject the candidate and write the reason yourself.

No screening, no draft: the AI has nothing to base a letter on until the screening is finished. This isn't a plan restriction, it's just the order things happen in.

Draft the letter

2 tokens

Reject the candidate the way you normally would. In the rejection dialog, click the draft button. The letter lands in the candidate-facing reason field, where you can edit it. If you've drafted once already, the button offers to redraft instead.

  • It seeds the field, it doesn't lock it: the drafted text arrives in the reason box as ordinary editable text.
  • Only when you click: the field is never pre-filled for you. If you don't click, nothing is charged and you write the reason yourself.

Read it before you send it

The reason is required, and it's yours

The candidate-facing reason is required, and whatever sits in that box when you submit is what the candidate reads. Read the draft properly and cut anything that isn't true or isn't kind. The AI saw the screening, not the conversation you had, so it can't know everything you know.

This goes to a person: a rejection is the last thing many candidates hear from you. A drafted letter is a first pass at the wording, not a reason to stop paying attention to it.

Writing it in the candidate's language

The letter is drafted in the language you pick, which needn't be your own. That matters when you work in one language and the candidate applied in another.

A different language is a new draft: asking for the letter in another language drafts it again, which costs another 2 tokens and replaces the letter you had. Drafting again in a language you've already used doesn't charge you twice.

Worth knowing

  • It's a suggestion: nothing drafts or sends automatically. The letter exists only because you asked for it.
  • A low score is a flag, not a decision: a very low screening score is marked as such in the dialog, but it never rejects anyone and never stops you drafting. Whether to reject is your call.
