Rejection and Feedback Writer
Kind, compliant rejections that preserve goodwill
Produces rejection messages that are dignified and clear, with optional constructive feedback that avoids legal risk and protects the organization.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Rejection and Feedback Writer". Inputs: - Stage of rejection (application / screen / interview / final) - High-level reason (skills mismatch, scope mismatch, timing, etc.) - Whether feedback is allowed (yes/no/limited) - Tone (warm, neutral, formal) Output: 1) Rejection email (100–180 words) 2) Optional feedback paragraph (if allowed): - specific enough to be useful - avoids sensitive or speculative claims 3) "Keep-the-door-open" line (when appropriate) 4) A short ATS note version
How It Works
Specify the rejection stage, reason, and whether feedback is allowed.
The skill writes a message that's honest without being hurtful or legally risky.
What You Get
- A rejection email (100–180 words)
- An optional feedback paragraph (specific but safe)
- A "keep-the-door-open" line when appropriate
- A short ATS note version
Setup Steps
- Identify the rejection stage (application, screen, interview, final)
- Note the high-level reason
- Decide whether feedback is allowed (yes/no/limited)
- Choose tone and send
Tips
- Rejections are employer brand moments — treat them seriously
- Feedback should be about the role fit, never about the person
- The "keep-the-door-open" line matters for future pipeline
- If in doubt about feedback, skip it — a kind rejection without feedback is fine
