How this reply is built

Each scenario has one written template per tone. The page inserts what you typed into the marked gaps and changes nothing else. No AI is involved, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

These are written templates, not AI-generated text. Read each reply before you send it and adjust it to your own policies. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type here is uploaded or stored.

Common questions

Should every applicant get an acknowledgment?

Yes. A short confirmation costs little and tells candidates their application did not vanish.

What timeframe should I give?

The one your hiring process can really meet. If it slips, send a short update.

Can I send this automatically?

Yes. An acknowledgment is the same for everyone, which makes it a good fit for an automatic reply.
