What was the quote?

I just looked at my emails and actually my message was not exactly accurate. I received the refusal from the CEO and this email contained the following phrase:

> sometimes we have to make very painful choices and pass over some extraordinarily promising candidates.

Then I asked for feedback and the next reply from the recruiting team quoted this phrase.

They didn't give me any feedbacks for legal reasons (?).

Yes - that's very typical for US companies, because they're afraid of being sued. It definitely shouldn't be read as cold or uncaring on the part of the people responding to you; the worst that can be said is that they were paying too much attention to their lawyers. :D
