Do you mean liability as in liability for discriminatory hiring practices by providing feedback?
- btilly 9y agoNo. Liability as in the more that you have said, the more likely it is that a lawsuit will be filed based on a misunderstanding of what you did say. It doesn't matter how unlikely the lawsuit is to win on the merits. Fighting in court and discovery both bring costs and distractions that institutions would prefer to avoid.
- bob_theslob646 9y agoMakes sense. I did not know this existed. Thanks, learn something new everyday. Bafflingly to think about... (https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/lawsuits-based-the-hiring-process.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/lawsuits-based-the-h...)
- walshemj 9y agoIts more like protecting the company from a Manager going of piste and saying we don't hire xxxx for these sort of jobs.
- mathattack 9y agoExactly. A manager can say overqualified and the company gets sued for age discrimination.
- skookumchuck 9y agoCompanies also tend to settle frivolous lawsuits because it's cheaper. Not giving feedback is not leaving any opening for frivolous lawsuits over the reason given.
