I’m an experienced sourced and recruiter, with years of experience in major tech companies. My company is going through layoffs, so I was referred for a role at Gitlab by a friend/employee who thought I would be a great fit. I never got any sort of confirmation email or follow up from anyone whatsoever, except today when I received a generic rejection email... on Christmas Day. What a nice slap in the face. Looks like I dodged a bullet working here. They need a better recruiting team if they reject well qualified referrals... on Christmas. It also goes to show that people here work on Christmas. Yikes.
