Understanding Candidate Selection
If a candidate is not selected, it doesn't always mean they are rejected. There can be several reasons, such as being overqualified, highly competent, or having high salary expectations for the position. Therefore, we should not be disheartened if we are not selected by the organization. I am sharing this from my personal experience as a hiring professional for the organization.

Yes, you are right. However, it is good practice to write to the rejected candidate, giving them constructive feedback so that they understand the rejection. I always end my letters of rejection by inviting them to contact me should they require further details. This gives a positive impression and leaves the door open for the future; after all, today's rejection might be tomorrow's hire!

I echo Loknath and Harsh on this note. There is a magic term too often used during hiring called 'Fitment Issue.' It doesn't claim a candidate to be bad but a misfit. This is entirely non-negative and has nothing to do with anyone in isolation.
Importance of Transparency in Hiring
However, it's important to maintain transparency, as the candidate who couldn't be hired today might be hired tomorrow. Hence, the communication needs to be set right.
