Aren't there legal reasons why it's unfavorable to the company to really go into too much detail why they didn't hire someone?

- ogdrhr 8y agoYes, there's no way to win as the hiring entity, you just open yourself up to discrimination lawsuits. So it's better to do the inhuman thing and say nothing!
- skookumchuck 8y agoThat's right. The other reason to not give feedback is the rejectee will inevitably start arguing with you about it, demand more detail, try to reopen negotiations, tell you how unfair/wrong you are, etc. I've tried it both ways. Not giving feedback works much, much better.
- chillacy 8y agoYes so if you’re gonna ask this question ask over phone not email! I’ve successfully gotten feedback by doing this. Not in super detail but very good general feedback.
