Hello <Hiring Manager or Recruiter>,
I've appreciated the opportunity to interview with you in the past. While I appreciate your continuing interest and many follow ups, I have concerns about <company>. In previous discussions, I have been open with my concerns. Here are my top three:
- Governing structure, values, and ethics. I am disappointed in <company> and its track record. Ethics should not be an afterthought of software development.
- Physical work environment. Open office arrangements are highly distracting and unproductive for me and millions of others.
- Your hiring process needs major reform. Your interviews are unnecessarily biased against people like me, i.e. of similar age and experience. Your interviews over-accentuate talking out loud while white-boarding at the expense of other qualities. This is self-defeating.
If you want to hire me as part of a team that is making changes in these areas, let's talk. Such teams would need support from the C-level and commit to sweeping structural changes.
Sincerely,
David
