Sending a "Thanks but No Thanks" email is a professional way to close the loop with applicants that you feel are not a good fit for your job opening, and it's easy to do with your account. There are two options open to you for sending a "Thanks But No Thanks" (a.k.a. TBNT) email to applicants. You can also customize the TBNT text to fit your company's communication style.

It's important to note that once you send a TBNT email to an applicant, that applicant will be automatically archived and moved to the Archived Applicants tab in your applicant viewer. You can always unarchive an applicant by selecting Unarchive from the select action drop down menu.
