Most rejection emails sound either cold-corporate or fake-warm. This generator picks the right tone for each stage and drafts a message in 30 seconds. The kind candidates actually remember positively.

Your email

Three steps to a thoughtful rejection
Most rejection emails fail because they ignore where the candidate actually got to. This one doesn't.
Pick stage + tone
A resume-screen rejection should be short and gracious. A final-round rejection should acknowledge the hours invested. We adjust the language for you.
Optional: add feedback
Toggle on for one or two concrete observations they can grow from. Skip it after a resume screen, when you don't yet have enough signal to be useful.
Copy and paste
One click copies the body or subject to your clipboard. Paste into Gmail, Outlook, or your ATS, swap a phrase if needed, and send.

Curriculo is one hiring platform with two apps: an ATS for recruiters and a free resume builder for job seekers. The ATS scores candidates on outcomes they shipped, not keywords, and includes a written reasoning paragraph you can audit. Setup is designed for founder-led teams: post a job, connect email, and see scored candidates without a weeks-long implementation. Pricing is flat: a free starter with unlimited jobs and a Pro plan without per-seat fees. The free resume builder lives at /ai-resume-builder/. Product documentation, comparisons, templates, and hiring tools are linked from the header and footer. Contact the team at contact@curriculo.me for resume-builder questions and sales@curriculo.me for ATS demos. We typically respond within 24 hours on business days. Related reading includes the features overview, the pricing page, the ATS comparison hub, and the Curriculo blog. Job seekers can start a resume without a credit card. Recruiters can start hiring on the free ATS plan without a credit card.
