Hopefully not shouting into the void. Hospitable is looking for truly exceptional Laravel engineers - if you love Laravel, love shipping and you are an incredible person then I want to hear from you.

Sam, sorry to say this out loud, but the vacancies posted by Hospitable look suspicious. It seems like you are only looking for one developer for a year round and ignoring everyone else. I got the feeling that you post vacancies just for advertisement or something. The automated response I received months ago was:
"
Dear Moe,
We appreciate your interest in the Product Engineer, All Teams (Laravel) position at Hospitable.com. We have reviewed your application, and we regret to inform you that it has not been selected for further consideration.
The competition for a job (especially remote positions) is always strong (we often go through 500+ applications for one offer), and we often have to make difficult choices between many high-caliber candidates.
We wish you every success with your job search and thank you again for your interest in our company.
Sincerely,
"
Sorry you feel that way Moe. We hire 1 engineer in approximately 1600 applications. We are not a company that hires 100s and then lays them off a year later, we hire sustainably. So maybe you are right we are looking for the one or two rare, exceptional engineers and there are not that many of them around.
Every application is reviewed by a human, given you brought it up, in your case your application didn't stand out among the rest, there was nothing stand out about the cover letter or the answers provided. If you check our application handbook linked the in the job descriptions we give plenty of advice on how to wow our team.
We are looking for people who want to stand out among the crowd and can show us they really want to work at Hospitable and not just 'get a job', that does require effort, if that is suspicious that's fine by me.
