How to decline an interview invitation in Hong Kong

Notify the recruiter promptly and communicate your decision courteously.

Check your decision

Review the position, location and time requirements. If only one detail is unclear, ask the recruiter before deciding whether to proceed.

Respond early

You can write: “Thank you for inviting me to interview for [role]. After consideration, I have decided not to continue with this process. Thank you for your time.” Adapt the message to your situation.

Close the appointment

If you already accepted an interview, inform the contact that you need to cancel; also tell the agency if one arranged it. Keep a record without disclosing private reasons you prefer not to share.
