They're definitely trying, but they're not as open as they might appear. I had one of their in-house recruiters work hard to get me into their company, and was kind of happy until it came to the reference checks, nobody had mentioned to me that they would be hiring a 3rd party company that was going to contact 7 years of previous employers. For some people this might be the norm, for me that's MASSIVE overkill. A couple of years later someone on twitter was claiming that Gitlab's hiring process was transparent so I mentioned the problem, and they opened a public issue. A month later I checked to see how it was progressing and they'd decided to make it private and I was definitely not allowed to see anything about it. I've since noted in their materials that they explicitly mention the check, and it's 5 years worth, which is much better from a transparency point of view, but disappointing from a - I had to go and check their documents to discover a change had been made, point of view. |
