The Regret Letter is a crucial document in Singapore's professional recruitment process, used when an organization needs to formally communicate a negative hiring decision to job applicants. It must align with Singapore's strict employment regulations and fair practice guidelines while maintaining professional courtesy. The document typically includes appreciation for the candidate's interest, a clear but tactful rejection statement, and sometimes information about future opportunities or application retention. It serves both as a professional courtesy and a legal safeguard, documenting the completion of the recruitment process.
