&gt; Not only does fear of lawsuits prevent companies from disclosing no-hire reasons, it prevents them from even recording those reasons internally.<p>I don&#x27;t get this mentality.<p>A) I seem to be unaware of the rash of lawsuits befalling companies that provide feedback.  I admit I just may be ignorant of them.<p>B) It seems that not recording reasons actually makes the company <i>more</i> vulnerable.  When you combine a &quot;preponderance of evidence&quot; legal standard with &quot;Lies, damn lies, and statistics&quot; it seems like it would be easy for a litigious candidate and a good lawyer to force a settlement or get a favorable jury ruling if the company cannot present hard evidence that said candidate was not hired because of X, Y, and Z non-protected reasons.  In fact, that is the reason given in discussions about why it is so hard to <i>fire</i> people for going though the PIP process instead of just cutting them loose.
