Is it OK to ask an employer why he/she did not hire you?
I thought I heard it had, and that indeed it was preferable so that one would know how to improve their employment package. However, when I have asked in the past, I have gotten impossibly vague and unhelpful answers. My husband says this might be because employers are put in a difficult position. I don't see how the position would be difficult unless the reason for non-hire was unsavory (like discrimination.)

It depends how you ask really. The person you ask may feel threatened, and may not want to say "we don't like you". If that is the case you can't change it anyway - personal views are valuable. You could try an angle of asking what skills they felt you didn't have which may have helped your application. This way they have a tangible that they can answer and you get some feedback on what you can improve. You could ask whether they felt your experience was suitable - again something tangible. Remember, don't be pushy - you may have been second choice and the succesful applicant might die next week. You don't want burnt bridges which you don't even know about. More than one succesful applicant has failed in a very short time and the runner-up gets a second chance. Good luck with the job hunt.

Some people do ask, however companies are reluctant to say anything because it may be twisted into a discrimination claim by a ticked off candidate. Even a frivolous lawsuit can be very expensive.

As the saying goes, you can't misquote silence.

Sometimes the reasons for hiring one person over another are vague. It may get down to small things like how you thing one person would get along with everyone else. The reasons may be slightly discriminating. I have two equal applicants and there are more women in the department and I want to bring more men into it. Or I want the department younger. Or I would prefer single people or married people. If the choice is close as far as capabilities are concerned, the selection is made on a lot of intangibles that can't or won't be documented or explained.

Well, you husband is right. Now days an employer can be sued if they tell anyone that the employee being asked about stole money from the petty cash fund.

It is no wonder why they are very tight lipped about reasons for not hiring someone.

The only reason I ever give is that someone else was more qualified for the position.


linda
how and why I select a new employee is a business decision, and is really no one else's business and I feel no need to share this information with someone I found to not be qualified or suitable for employment with my company.
good luck
