"Dear Anil
I am writing to express my appreciation for the commitment and hard work you have given to the assignment.
The task was challenging, not least with the limited time available to generate a field of suitable candidates. You have been exemplary in your response and kept us well informed all the way through.
Although a small field for final interview, you had certainly identified a good range of experienced candidates to present to us. We are confident the candidate appointed is the best person for the job here in ------- and have found our selection process and evidence collection very well matched by your own assessment of potential candidates.
We would certainly consider using your services again for other posts in the authority. Your assistance and skills have helped us appoint with confidence, for which we are all very grateful. "
From: Assistant Director- Local Authority
