Is an employee entitled to receive reference information after not being selected for an assignment?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if it is positive

  4. Only after a year

The correct answer is: Yes

An employee is entitled to receive reference information after not being selected for an assignment because transparency is important in the hiring process. Providing candidates with feedback can help them understand their strengths and areas for improvement, which supports their professional development. Organizations that communicate openly with candidates demonstrate goodwill and foster a positive candidate experience, which can enhance their reputation and create goodwill, even among those who are not selected. While some companies may have policies that limit the amount of feedback they provide, the general principle is that constructive feedback can be beneficial for both the candidate and the employer. Hence, candidates may expect at least some reference information or feedback on why they weren't selected, making it a best practice for employers to comply with such requests.
