I certainly agree with you! I think the PR of a company is KEY on attracting truly valuable employees... Just take a look at Google... or IBM... They do send you a reply to an application... They might just kindly say that you're not a match for the requirements, etc..., but leaving an applicant "hanging" is not a good policy for your company's PR!
And like it's been said... geeks ARE social animals (yes they are!:p) and news travel quite fast around them! (just keep an eye on IRC channels with those usergroups built during the 90's who still talk and chat freely about life amongst themselves - like me:p) so you can "scare" possible top employees just because of the stupid way you acted about a less experienced on of them... uuh uh:)...but of course I don't encourage giving tips on what went wrong... This is an option if you liked the person/personality and view it as an asset, but without the necessary knowledge/experience for immediate hiring... It's a matter of "Human Resources Techniques";) (and gifted "eye" for the matter...;)
