A candidate opened up honestly during an interview, but no one was hired — because the role was cancelled due to a budget freeze. It reminded me that rejection isn’t always about performance, sometimes it’s just business decisions behind the scenes. Often we take the rejections personally but Sometimes, it simply means the business changed its mind. What are your thoughts on that?

That can happen, and from what I've seen and heard, it's happening more frequently lately. A lot of organizations are hesitant about hiring, yet they're still going through the motions. People can feel crushed that they aren't hired, yet it's got nothing to do with them, it could be the result of an unannounced hiring freeze.

Yes and they have spend time and effort to secure a role

What bothers me is that its not always discussed with the candidate

Something to keep in mind. Does anybody get decent feedback that better outlines the why? It could have been me, somebody better, or the job doesn’t exist anymore, all very possible.

I’d agree that’s the most common thought, but it could be anything. Good reminder to not take it personally, and just move on to the next opportunity.
