I once received feedback after being rejected for a position. In this particular case I knew full well why I hadn&#x27;t been given me the job, but nonetheless their willingness to open up about their decision making process made a big and lasting impression on me.<p>Of course, it was a startup. No company with more than 20 employees would probably even consider doing something like this, and unfortunately I doubt that will change anytime soon. However - if you&#x27;re ever in a position to safely communicate with a rejected candidate, I would suggest you at least consider it. They may not be suitable now, but things do change.<p>At the other end of the spectrum are companies or teams that don&#x27;t even bother notifying candidates they&#x27;ve been rejected. I&#x27;m sure they have good reasons, but to me that sends a negative signal.
