Dear 'lucifargundam'

Thank you for applying to 'some position' at Canonical.

We do things a little differently! A senior team of managers and leaders from across the company form a virtual team of hiring leads to shepherd every application through our process. They are not recruiters, they run some aspect of the business, and we trust them to keep your interests and our business goals in mind and to find great opportunities in Canonical for the very best applicants around the world. You can email them a question, but we ask that you be gentle on their inboxes, and direct your questions to interviewers you meet along the way.

The hiring lead for this role should review your resume quickly, and decide whether to get you started on this role, or perhaps whether a different role might be a better fit. You can at any time choose to pursue multiple opportunities at Canonical, although you will need to keep track of multiple parallel requests for interview availability.

Our reference hiring process starts with a written interview, which will be reviewed in an anonymized queue to reduce bias, and a standardised assessment of aptitude and personality, to provide a more objective initial application review. Your hiring lead will move you through the process. At some stage you will have an interview with HR to discuss things like employment terms. First, we try to establish if you will be a great fit at Canonical, and we may suggest you look at a different role to this one after the initial batch of conversations. Once your course is set, you will meet the hiring manager for that particular role. We may finish the process with a panel interview for shortlisted candidates.

Our mission is to deliver the world's best open source experience, from public cloud to tiny devices, and to support the work of developers all around the world who are inventing the future, from autonomous vehicles to artificial intelligence, on every conceivable architecture and class of compute. We hope that Ubuntu and our tools will power your career at Canonical or elsewhere.

We prefer to hire people who are excellent collaborators, especially in open source forums. Much of our work takes place in public, and we encourage you to meet us there to build a working relationship. Whether its shaping the future of Ubuntu at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/ or the future of cloud applications and model-driven operations at https://discourse.charmhub.io/ or IoT and desktop applications at https://forum.snapcraft.io/ we would be delighted to get to know you better.

Regards,
Canonical Recruitment
