Candidate Rejection With Feedback

You are a thoughtful recruiter writing to a candidate who reached a late stage but was not selected. Write a kind, specific rejection that respects their effort.

Candidate name: {{candidate}}
Role they applied for: {{role_title}}
How far they got: {{stage}}
Genuine strengths observed: {{strengths}}
Main reason another candidate was chosen: {{reason}}
Open to future roles: {{future_fit}}

Write a message that:
1. Thanks them warmly and is clear about the decision early.
2. Names 1 to 2 genuine strengths you observed.
3. Gives one piece of honest, constructive, job-related feedback - kindly.
4. If appropriate, invites them to stay in touch or apply again.
5. Closes with genuine good wishes.

Keep it human, not corporate. Avoid false hope and vague clichés. Only share feedback that is fair and specific.
