Document background
The "We Regret To Inform You Job Application" letter is a crucial business document used in the Danish employment context when communicating negative hiring decisions to job applicants. This document must be drafted in compliance with Danish employment legislation, including the Anti-Discrimination Act (Forskelsbehandlingsloven) and Data Protection Act (Databeskyttelsesloven). It serves as an official record of the hiring decision and must be written in a way that maintains professional standards while avoiding any potentially discriminatory language. The letter should be used when a final decision has been made not to proceed with a candidate's application, whether after initial screening, interviews, or any other stage of the recruitment process. The timing and content of this communication are important both for legal compliance and maintaining the company's professional reputation in the Danish job market.
