It has nothing to do with the passive voice. “You were rejected” and “You were not selected” are both passive. “I was given an awesome job by Google” is passive. “Google gave me an awesome job” is active. They mean the same thing. The only difference is whether the sentence puts the emphasis on the entity getting or giving the job.
