Obviously, if the prospective employer doesn't offer a reasons for not offeringthe job, then you might not know. But there may be ways to find out.

And just curious...

Some people always say that they don't get hired because of their race! How do you know that?
I don't believe there will be employers who are dumb enough to say this.

I don't want to say those people taking things personal, but if they are not doing this, they just know they are discrinimated? How can they sue the employer based on their "feelings"!

I never met a case like this, but there are some people complain about this, making me wonder...

It's pretty dangerous on the part of the employer to do this. They could set themselves up for a lawsuit. If the prospective person called the employer to ask why they were not considered and told that the previous employer had given out bad information they could sue.

Sometimes the ex-employee lies. There was a previous employee who lied about his position at our company and I'm certain that he did not get jobs because when they could send notice to verify employment we always had to say that he was not X position he was something else.
