GitLab is looking for an executive recruiter to create positive experiences for GitLab candidates and hiring teams. We're growing quickly and need a dynamic team member to help us identify amazing candidates, improve our existing hiring practices, and deliver exceptional customer service. GitLab strives to be a preferred employer and will rely on the recruiters to act as brand ambassadors by embodying the company values and identifying those values in potential team members. We need a recruiter who is enthusiastic about working with high volume and is dedicated to helping us build a qualified, diverse, and motivated team.

GitLab Inc. is a company based on the GitLab open-source project. We have one vision: everyone can contribute to all digital content, and our mission is to change all creative work from read-only to read-write so that everyone can contribute. We value results, transparency, sharing, freedom, efficiency, frugality, collaboration, directness, kindness, diversity, boring solutions, and quirkiness. If these values match your personality, work ethic, and personal goals, we encourage you to visit our primer to learn more. Open source is our culture, our way of life, our story, and what makes us truly unique. Top 10 reasons to work for GitLab:

• Work on a product you use every day: we drink our own wine.
• Work on a product used by lots of people that care about what you do.
• As a company we contribute more than we take, most of our work is released as the open source GitLab CE.
