1. For top tier applicants that were unsuccessful
Contact by phone any of the top tier applicants that were on the "finals" list but were not selected for the role. You want to explain to them that the role has been filled but in this instance another candidate was selected. The following script can be used if required:
Hi (name), its (insert your name) from Beer Cartel, I just wanted to give you a call to update you on the role you interviewed for. Is now a good time for you?
We've made a decision with regards to the role and have appointed another candidate. We didn't make the decision lightly with the field of applicants being quite large and containing many high calibre applicantions.
You were in the final stages and the decision was a tough one but the successful candidate ultimately had a great breadth of craft beer industry experience. [or insert main reason other applicant was chosen]
I can say that what we did like about your application and interview was [insert relevant experience/knowledge that stood out]. And we really appreciate you have taken the time and effort to apply for the role.
We always like to stay in touch with others we saw value and potential in, so if its alright with you I'd like to keep the lines of communication always open as we never know what might come up as our business continues to grow.
