Religious Discrimination?

[Feuer Frei!]

That may be so however:

Giving feedback on a recruitment is a favour, not an obligation, due to the time it takes to compile the reasons why a employee was hired.
Bosses in a lot of cases are actually under order from lawyers to not get into the reasons why or why not a person was hired. In case a unsuccessful applicant isn't 'happy' with the explanation given and wants to take it further. Discriminatory reason, i'm looking at you.

Also a lot aren't comfortable with sharing the reasons with you because of personal and awkward details.
Or, they did tell you the reason and you still aren't happy with the feedback given.
There are a raft of reasons why a hirer is not obligated to give you feedback on your job application.
Sure, you can appeal and have it reviewed, but let's face it, unless it's a high-roller job application for a international company, with a panel of 8 interviewing you, then you will need to deal with the answer of: "unfortunately at this time your application was unsuccessful".
If you ask for further clarification, even then you are never going to get the real reason why a applicant got the job over you, even though they were less qualified than you.

I'll add also to this, which is not hypothetical: http://www.londonlovesbusiness.com/b...y/4081.article
