At GitLab, we have this line at the bottom of our job postings:
Avoid the confidence gap; you do not have to match all the listed requirements exactly to apply.
We believe that while it would be nice to have someone that exactly checks all the boxes, we are willing to look at candidates that might not feel they are all the way there.
- blinkingled 10y agoYes, the occurrence of these was so slim that I do distinctly remember seeing that on the GitLab jobs page! Thank you for taking a realistic approach to hiring - I will see if I can find anything that excites me @GitLab!
