An update on the role title role

Email

Hi candidate name,

Thank you for the time and energy you put into the role title process at company name. After careful thought, we have decided to move forward with another candidate for this particular role.

I want to be clear that this was a close call, not a reflection of your ability. Decisions like this often come down to a very specific fit for one role at one moment, and they say little about the strong impression you made.

I would genuinely like to stay in touch. Your background is impressive, and roles change here often, so I would welcome the chance to reach out when something better suited comes up. If you are open to that, just reply and let me know.

I wish you real success in your search,

your name, company name

Update on your role title search

Email

Hi client name,

I wanted to give you a proper update on the role title search rather than wait for our next call. Here is where things honestly stand.

The picture so far:

• Progress: search status.
• What the market is telling us about this role, in plain terms.
• What I am adjusting based on the responses we are seeing.

If the brief has shifted on your end at all, even slightly, now is a great time to tell me so I can retune the search before the next round. It is far easier to adjust now than after a shortlist goes out.

The next step is next step, and I will have the following batch of candidates to you shortly. Thanks for trusting us with this,

your name, company name
