We decided to go with another candidate.
他の[応募者](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/79275/)を採用することになりました。
After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you have not been selected for this position.
慎重に検討した結果、誠に残念ながら誠に残念ながらあなたがこのポジション（職種、仕事、求人）に選ばれなかったことをお伝えします。（ご期待に添えず申し訳ありません、のようなニュアンス）
上記は海外の不合格連絡でよく使われる表現です。英語では日本よりはストレートに伝えても、「不合格です」だけをストレートに伝えることはあまりないと思います。「今回の求人に興味を持っていただいてありがとうございます」のような表現の後に上記のような表現が続く場合が多いです。
例：
Thank you for your interest in the position of ○○. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you have not been selected for this position.
○○のポジション（職種、仕事、求人）に興味を持っていただきありがとうございます。慎重に検討した結果、誠に残念ながらご期待に添えない結果となりました。
-- VOCABULARY --
decide = 決断する
move forward = 進む
careful consideration = 慎重な検討
inform = 伝える
We have concluded that we are unable to offer you the (job) position.
英語はストレートに表現されるものも多いですが、不採用通知に関しては以外に長い丁重なメール（レター）が送られてくる事が多いです。
例文ですが、こんな内容です。
Thank you for applying to [会社名]. After completing a careful review of your application and supporting credentials, our Admissions Committee has concluded that we are unable to offer you acceptance to the job position. This year we received nearly [応募数] applications for [採用数] places, making the competition keen and our task difficult. Regrettably, we cannot accommodate all applicants interested in [会社名].
訳
この度は [会社名]に[ご応募頂き、ありがとうございました](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/55665/)。 貴殿の応募内容と基礎資料を
社内（採用部門）で慎重に検討させていただきましたが、[採用](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/40396/)については見送らせていただくこととなりました。（直訳：その仕事の役職への採用を差し上げる事が出来ないと結論付けました）。 今年は、[採用数]の応募に対し[応募数]近くの応募があり、選考には困難を極めました。（直訳：激しい競争となったため、我々の仕事は難しいものになりました。）遺憾ながら、弊社に興味を持って頂いた全ての応募者を受けれる事は出来ませんでした。
あくまでも例文ですが、この後にも色々と理由や会社の事情が連なっている事もあります。 そして最後に
We wish you great success in your future.
訳
貴殿の今後益々のご活躍をお祈り申し上げます。
と締めくくられます。
日本のような短い不採用通知ではなく、採用通知と同じくらいの長さの時もあります。 もちろん内容は全く異なりますが・・・。
何度も不採用通知や不合格通知を受けてると「またか」とすぐにわかるようになりますけどね（実談＾＾；）
Thank you for your interest in our company. We regret to inform you, however, that your application for the position has been unsuccessful.
We want to thank you for applying for the position of XYZ. Regrettably, your application has been unsuccessful, but we will keep your CV/Resume on file.
To soften the blow, always thank the candidate for their interest in applying., then state your
regret at having to give them the unfortunate outcome.
Unfortunately you were not selected to proceed with the hiring process.
Due to (state reason), we were not able to offer you a position at the moment.
Saying "you were not selected" will definitely sound more smooth than saying "you were not hired". Although they both have the same meaning, it is better to avoid using the word "not hired".
Also remember to state a reasonable explanation before telling them that they were "not selected" or you were "not able to offer a position"
For example:
"Dear Steven,
Due to our high number of applicants and the competitive selection process, we were unfortunately not able to offer you a position at the moment. This not a reflection of your credentials or your qualifications......etc."
As you can see, after telling the applicant that he/she was not hired, I proceeded to inform them that it's not their fault. So it can give the applicant a feeling of having a second chance if that's what you'd like to imply.
「you were not selected」の方が、「you were not hired」と言うよりスムーズに聞こえます。どちらも同じ意味ですが、「not hired」という言葉を避けた方が良いです。
また、「not selected」や「not able to offer a position」という前に、きちんと合理的な説明を言うこと覚えておいてください。
例文
「親愛なるスティーブン、
Due to our high number of applicants and the competitive selection process, we were unfortunately not able to offer you a position at the moment. This not a reflection of your credentials or your qualifications......etc."
当社は応募者が多く、選考の結果、残念ながらあなたに現時点で業務を提供することができませんでした。あなたの資格などのせいではございません。などなど。
分かる通り、彼/彼女が雇用できなかったと申請者に言った後、それは彼らのせいではないことをしっかりと伝えています。
だから申請者にはまだチャンスがあるんだと暗示することができますね。これがあなたの言いたいことだと良いのですが。
1. We regret to inform you, you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
2. The competition for this position was fierce and you were under consideration to the very end of the selection process.
3. We thank you for your interest in our company and wish you well for the future.
1. This is a very normal phrase within a letter of rejection.
