Only a complete fool would comply with this request. GDPR is not a magic codeword that can force companies to give data away. I am not calling BS on OP's request, but there is absolute no way that internal communications about an applicant falls into GDPR. Basic test: did the person had to consent to "people will talk about you over email" somewhere? If not, it is not data protected by GDPR.
An interviewee was unhappy with my decision and felt that they hadn't had a fair hearing - and complained.
In this case we had a standard form where we assessed candidates over multiple factors (comms skills, technical skills, etc) - so if they got to see the result they'll have seen evaluations on all of that.
I wasn't very impressed with getting the complaint (the only one out of 100+ interviews) but hopefully GDPR is a more neutral way of getting that sort of feedback these days.
