How do you respond to resumes submitted by email when you have posted a position in your office?

I have an open position and receive several resumes by email. I feel like I should respond but never quite know what to say in an email response to potential candidates. Especially when they have no qualifications for the position.

How do you respond to resumes submitted by email when you have posted a position in your office?
The best response to give candidates that you are not considering for the position would probably go something like this:





Dear candidate,


Thank you for recently submitting your resume for x position with x company. Unfortunately we are unable to offer you a position at this time. We appreciate your time and interest in a position with x company.





Sincerely,


Hiring manager





A short, simple, to-the-point response is best and allows the job-seekers to move on with their search.



Reply:Thank you for your interest in ABC Company. We will keep your resume on file for 90 days should a position within our company becomes available that fits your experience.
Reply:You do not need to reply to people who you are not looking to hire.
