English term or phrase: I regret I am unable to progress your application any further
I need to inform candidates in writing that "I am unable to progress their application any further with regards to this specfic vacancy." In english it is a very polite way of saying that the person is not being selected for a role or to participate further in the selection process. Is there a similarly polite way of saying this in french?

Thank you - this gives me the choice of both approaches. I work in a small cabinet so it may be more appropriate to say I from time to time.
