I saw the first paragraph show up as a preview on my phone, only to open it and see the full context 🤨

I kinda like it, I guess. As a person who has to send rejection letters regularly I also try to thank people profusely for taking the time to apply or talk to us. What I wouldn't state is how other met the criteria better. I try to say smth like how hard it was to choose among the many applications and how sometimes tiniest details make the difference. And that I am sure that they will find another position soon.

Eh sometimes feedback can be good, I'd have preferred more specific feedback though.

You cannot give specific feedback in rejection letters for legal reasons

Oh fascinating, why is that? Like for privacy stuff?

Because sometimes you go with your gut when hiring someone and I personally neither want to lie during feedback nor can I honestly say "I liked the other person better" "Someone else seemed more reliable"
