You do not email the manager. You do email the recruiter.
"Hello Recruiter,
Thank you so much for your time and the opportunity to learn more about X Role. I've enjoyed learning about the company but I am not the right fit for this team. Please keep my CV and please reach out if anything looks right.
Rewrite for tone and style.
I manage four managers, and I know one in particular is not as personable in interviews especially. I appreciate the candidates that have shared this with the recruiting team. The recruiters have shared it confidentially with me: "We lost this candidate due to so-and-so's interview." and that has led to some personal development opportunities for this manager. I wouldn't know otherwise. In one case, we caught it quickly enough and got the candidate in for an interview with one of the other managers.
that's totally fair - your manager is extremely important and if you're not feeling the vibe then it's not the right time. You can say that you're not ready yet for the jump, but really enjoy their work and would love to reconnect and work with them in the near future.
You don’t owe them an explanation, keep it simple and am straightforward. “After much consideration, I’ve decided to retract my candidacy for the position.”
You don’t need to take yourself out of the running until/unless the recruiter contacts you to say they’d like to advance you to the next round. At which point you can thank them and withdraw with whatever excuse you want: your situation has changed, timing isn’t right, you’re pursuing a different opportunity etc.
If you really want to stay in consideration with the company long term, your excuse should be something polite and face-saving that’s about some external factor… there really is no way to say “my interviewer rubbed me the wrong way but I’d be happy to work for someone else in the company” without raising the possibility that it’s actually you causing the bad vibe (whether or not that’s true).
