How you react will depend on whether it was an internal promotion or similar, or a new job application. A properly conducted interview should result in an interview appraisment report, most commonly for 'internal' interviews, which should be made available to the candidate, even if unsuccessful, so that he knows where he did and didn't meet the criteria being applied.
If it's a new job (external interview), and no appraisment report is offered or available, then it's as well to chalk it down to experience and walk away, since the job has probably been offered to someone else. The only time it might be worth challenging would be if there were some legal issue, say, some kind of prohibited discrimination taking place.

Depends on the job, the salary involved, and the research I did on the company...including talking to some lower level employees as to the good, bad, and ugly of working for the company. Once I had that info, I would consider ASKING how I could improve my chances next time the job is available.
Challenging the company is akin to saying "I'll be seeing you in court!" and no company wants anyone like that.
Good luck!

The best thing to do would be to ask the employer if there's anything you could've done differently (be it on your application or in your interview) that would've given you a better shot.
Treat it as a learning experince, not a change to tell them how unfair you think they are. Don't burn any bridges since you never know what other jobs they may have available in the future that you'll want to apply for.

If you think the employer made a "bad decision" in judging your suitability for the position, you can talk to them but there is little other recourse.
If you think that they illegally discriminated against you because of your race, creed, color, gender, veteran's status, etc. then there are legal remedies. Talk to an attorney about that.

Gut instinct would be to challenge - but the issue is the 'employer' will have an answer as to why. Normal crud is 'There was another candidate who was slightly better than yourself - but we will keep you on file'

Get with a solid staffing agent. As one, I have run into this a few times. The company is more likely to tell the agent than you.

There's a difference between unfair and illegal. If you think your rejection was due to race, gender, age, sexual orientation, etc, you can get a lawyer and sue.

walk away, if they turned you down unfairly when you applied how do you think they would treat you as an employee ??
