Is it common these days for employers to give this type of feedback to rejected candidates? I used to be happy when I got any reaction at all and didn’t just have to eventually figure they weren’t going to get back to me.
this is probably automated feedback, not a real person. and no this not common. If they are being deceptive, like refusing to discuss certain things, probably best no to accept this job anyways. also look at reviews for certain jobs, there are astroturfed ones though/.
Giving specific interview feedback in writing is legally fraught, so it is not typically done. It’s common courtesy to say “sorry but we went with someone else”, but most places don’t bother which is shitty.
I could see a startup with a limited or basically non-existent legal team sending something like this out thinking it’s a positive since most companies ghost candidates.
That same type of small startup also might try to avoid exactly what they cited because they know they can’t really compete currently and are trying to find people willing to be taken advantage of to get it off the ground.
It is almost certainly fake, but I don’t think it’s in any way impossible, just very unlikely.

No.
It’s common to just ghost the candidates.
This is why it’s fake.
Employers never give feedback ever period.
Something something fake liability concerns
only if the employer is personally butthurt if you did something they dint like.
