Are there laws that would allow me to get the interviewers notes?

  Yes, during discovery, for instance.

    What do you mean? I was thinking for example: I can request a copy from my employer of HR docs specific to me. Does this only apply because I'm employed, or does it extend to interview notes?

      You actually think "interview notes" are recorded anywhere formally? Pretty unlikely in 90% of corporations. You're likely requesting something from the circular file.

        And half of the recruiters are drawing dinosaurs on their notepad during the interview!

      In California, at least, the law specifies that it only applies to "current and former employees."

      The parent was discussing illegal discrimination -- if you were suing for any reason, part of the process would be discovery, in which you may request documents and information for use in your case.[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_(law) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_(law)

  EU data protection does, but only if the notes are computerized.

    Why would that be so? It's not the candidate's personal information...

      If you store I formation about me, it is by definition my information. It may be your thoughts but if there is a link to me, I should get to see it. Think multi device ad retargeting. How cool would it be to get back information on what the ad exchange thinks I am like...

        Wow. No. My thoughts are none of your business.
        • pjc50 11y ago
          It's not thoughts, it only applies to data stored in a computer.

            Thank you. I guess I didn't articulate it well enough for the grand parent comment here. I guess we could make an exception for personal AND non-commercial diaries but if you make business decisions that affect me based on information you store about me, then I should have a right to see them. I'm also thinking about the rights of everyone including criminal (including terror) suspects to see (I am specifically not asking permission to alter or delete, that's another conversation) all the information the government (and their agents in the private sector) stores about them. I know it sounds onerous specially because of the issue of authentication (how does the CIA know that it is me who is asking for information about me and not someone impersonating me?) and I don't have a good solution for these questions.

  In the UK, it's as simple as just requesting it from the company

  In Germany the interviewers notes and all the other documents related to the candidate have to be destroyed when they are not needed any more (Datensparsamkeit, literally data austerity, officially data reduction and data economy). When a candidate is rejected there is period of to months they can sue for discrimination. After that one additional month is considered to be justifiable. So everything has to be destroyed three months after the rejection letter if there is no discrimination case.
