As an employer, it is good business practice to follow up with each applicant who submits a résumé for your position. This practice is good business etiquette and distinguishes your facility as a quality organization — one that applicants will want to work for now and in the future. Keeping a good rapport with your applicants may be helpful if your first choice of candidates does not work out and you need to contact other applicants.

Here is some sample wording for letters or postcards to notify candidates if your search will be lengthy or you will not be considering them for the position.
