I applied a couple months back, and got a generic rejection email without really any information. My resume and skills match what y'all are looking for very closely. Any chance I could get a non-HR eyes on it and get another chance? I can email you a resume!



its really funny to see the same companies for the same roles not filled

"we're looking for someone that can hit the ground running!" has job open for 6 months, when they could have just trained an already skilled new hire


It is true that we use the same job description constantly, but we hire continuously too. Our team is mostly made up of full-stack Rails developers and so the same job listing has worked for many years as we have grown the team.

Reading every cover letter and resume we get takes a lot(!!!) of time. We only list open positions that we are hiring for.


Have had the same experience with them. Every time I see the job title and read the description I think wow that's perfect for me but then it is just the same reject letter or crickets. If they're looking for way more experience they should just say so.
