Did a reference say something weird? Was there a question that I didn't answer satisfactorily enough? Were my teeth not the brightest shade of white?

Yah, I know I always appreciated it if a company was just honest with me. So I try to be honest with all the candidates. One person, I just straight told him, looking at his past experience, I didn't choose him because I think he'll leave and go to Oil and Gas the first opportunity he gets. Was it fair to judge him like that? Debatable, but that's how I honestly felt. And since both candidates were equally qualified, I chose the one who I thought was less of a flight risk. The guy seemed kind of choked I told him that, but that's the breaks I guess. At least I didn't dick him around.
