Do you tell people why they were 'disqualified' ?

[balasankarc]

Yes. https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/hiring/#rejecting-applican...

Wow, thats awesome. I should have asked for feedback when I got 'not moving forward' email when I applied last time. That recruiting page is really great and detailed too.

Hey there!

If you're curious about feedback you can email me directly at [e-mail] and I can look up your application and share any feedback with you!

[viraptor]

Not always. I never got a reply. (re. the rejection reason)

[sashagitlab]

Hi Viraptor- as Ernst said, if you email me directly at [e-mail] I'd be happy to share feedback with you!

[viraptor]

I did and Sasha dug out the interview notes from a few months ago. Kudos!

[ernstvn]

viraptor, please send an email to Sasha (email above), she can track down what went wrong in your case and make sure you receive the feedback.

[timonovici]

From first hand experience - no. Even if you ask politely.

[sashagitlab]

Hey There! If you've applied with GitLab and the past and asked for feedback, but not received it I'm sincerely sorry. Please feel free to reach out directly to me ([e-mail]) and I will try to find the details of your interview process and provide feedback.

[timonovici]

Sure :) I'm still curious, although it happened a few months ago, and I got hired since. It's seems kinda unfair though, for the people who never got a message back, because they don't know the right person to ask, or they don't follow hacker news.
