It would be nice to get an in-game mail if you lose an auction and optionally to whom. If you lose now, there is no notification at all, which makes you wonder if everything went well, and which means you won't get reminded to keep looking for that new staff member or driver

If you have a driver or staff member you really want, you should shortlist them. They will then be highlighted while in the auction. If you don't win, you can check your shortlist on the homepage and see which team they are now on. If that person is released or their contract runs out, you will get notified at that time.
No, that doesn't help with a notifications before the auction ends, but I just set a timer on my phone or computer to go off 5 minutes before the end to remind me to jump on and check the auction.

That would work. Though I still think a notification when an auction is lost (or even when won) would be a logical and helpful improvement

Agreed, but the system was overwhelmed yesterday when Jack sent the notification about the blog post. Imagine most people tracking multiple staff and drivers and getting notifications... Maybe possible after this near explosive growth is under control and servers can be stabilized
