Hi Michael,

Although we strive to hire everyone who reaches the final stages (it's super time consuming for everyone, you and the team!), ultimately we have to turn away people who are awesome but aren't a perfect fit (at our teeny-tiny size back in [time redacted] when you interviewed, we were even pickier than we are now; I wouldn't read too much into our decision to not move forward).

We've made a lot of changes in our process since you spoke with us and I hope we're more communicative - to the best of our ability - in our process. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

I would not suggest posting specific dates of when candidates were interviewing without a candidate's consent

I don't think it had anything to do with you. If you notice they always say they're "hiring" on these threads. However they don't necessarily have any new "client" to subcontract out to someone. They don't seem to have any problem wasting people's time though.
