Re: I wanted to apply for a job at Mozilla, but...

Hey there Adam, Ben and Soumya,

This is Kedar here. I'm the co-founder of GapJumpers, the platform used by Mozilla to conduct 'blind 
auditions' for selecting talented engineers.
More about blind auditions here at 
www.fastcompany.com/3042618/strong-female-lead/can-blind-interviews-finally-solve-techs-
diversity-hiring-problem or www.today.com/video/companies-using-blind-auditions-to-hire-top-talent-459650627844

As you may imagine, the selection process is blind for the employer where in the hiring team at 
Mozilla is not influenced by the profile of the applicants. The Engineering teams at Mozilla rely solely 
on the performance of applicants on challenges hosted on our platform/ GapJumpers.

Though we anonymize submissions for the employer, we need to ensure that applicants are authentic. 
One simple way for us to do is to tie every account to a valid Linkedin account to avoid identity theft.

I'm eager to hearing your thoughts to resolve this issue and maintain the integrity of conducting a bias-free selection process.

Many thanks,
Kedar.

This is important for privacy and individual freedom, which Mozilla stands in for.
