I had an unsuccessful interview the other day and when I asked for feedback I received a phone call instead of generic email. Anyone else ever been let down and had feedback over phone

I've never had satisfactory feedback from any interview. You're lucky you got any.
For 1 TOC last year I got the "unfortunately unsuccessful" email but told to email or phone to get feedback. When I did phone I was told they don't give feedback to external candidates. Emailed a few days and got no reply at all. I wonder if GDPR law applies in this case to force them to give me the data?

Freightliner gave me no feedback but the interview was a very strange one anyway. Maybe fifteen minutes long and no standard competency questions

Greater Anglia were good and the manager phoned to give feedback

Had An interview with NR last year and was unsuccessful. I asked for feedback and the hiring manager rang me and went through the interview question by question, indicating where I could’ve picked up more points, which would’ve given me the job. The feedback lasted as long as the original interview.

Defiantly a positive experience. !

You can enter a subject access request for any notes they made about you during the interview.

Correct. I’m surprised that a TOC would say they don’t give feedback. On the paperwork we used at SWR it reminds interviewers that the candidate has a right to see the notes made during their interview.
