Almost no company will tell you why you weren't hired. In the US, as soon as a company gives you a reason for why you were not hired, you can sue and argue that the grounds for rejecting you were frivolous. Worse, if the exact phrasing used in any way possibly implies that you might have been rejected for a protected class (even if that's not actually the case in reality) then you can sue for truly ludicrous amounts of money. Neither of these are hypotheticals; one company I worked for had had a couple of lawsuits due to the former, and last I heard, a friend's company was halfway through a lawsuit due to the latter. This is another area where you can thank the lawyers for making it a mess for everyone.
