Good manners after having spent THREE hours filling in their application form and answering 100 questions online I think it would be bad not too

Esp if you have been to an interview I think you should get feedback

Typical arrogant employers point of view. If the boot is on the other foot when people fail to turn up for interviews by not phoning them for changing their mind, employers come on here spitting out their dummies saying that job seekers are inconsiderate and don't want to work. A bunch of hypocrites as far as I am concerned.

I agree, in part. When you have 50-100s applying you can't spend even the 5 mins typing an email saying why you haven't got it improve X, that is a lot of time and money.

Reasonably;
Rejected at CV stage - 'sorry unsuccessful' email.
Rejected at interview stage - Feedback, after all they would have notes.
Runner up on 'hold' - Told offer is dependent on whether the first choice accepts etc.

The job I am in now, in the interview I actually discussed the whole process of being told nothing and how some of the companies, like the banks I have applied for, I was a customer of, and if they treat potential employees that badly, how do they treat their customers?

End of the day all a company cares about is money. Ethics sell, good customer service sells, which is the ONLY reason they would operate costly processes. Of course sometimes accountants have too much say on costs.

how cruel, i would interpret "successful interview" to mean i got the job, i would probably have told everyone i did

I did, luckily I am one of those 'well F U' and get more determined rather than depressed. Unfortunately they are the best chance of me getting into the field I want to.

Potential employers would do well to remember the old adage "careful who you step on on the way up, you often meet them on the way down". You just never know!!

I do wish employers do send two forms of communication to confirm the successful candidate(s) have a job.

My friend went to an interview and heard nothing. She was unemployed at the time. Got a call on a Monday at 9:30am asking where she was. The letter was sent but she never received it. They let her start after lunch.

Some employers would not let them start because of they have missed important stuff.
