NOTIFICATION OF APPLICANTS
SUGGESTED LETTER WORDING
Occasionally, you may have a need to delay interviewing following the receipt of applications. In that situation, we strongly recommend that you contact the applicants to keep them informed about your time line. It will reduce the likelihood of receiving many phone calls.
So many applicants have responded to our advertisement that we will need an additional two to three weeks to evaluate them before scheduling interviews.
We sincerely hope this delay will not be inconvenient for you.
Thank you for your job application (or resume).
Because we review each application in detail, we will need up to an additional three weeks to set up a timetable for interviews. We will let you know as soon as possible if you will be invited to discuss your qualifications.
There has been a delay because of the large number of applicants.
