I like Automattic's process where you work/contract on the job first before a hiring/acceptance decision.

So they aren't hiring people ho currently have a job? Every job I've had since starting my career explicitly would not allow this.

They're pretty flexible about the trial project, which is contract pay, including choosing an open source project. Though I think you definitely need to want to work at Automattic to go through the hiring steps though, including onboarding as customer service. Note I don't work at Automattic, I know someone who went through their hiring process but declined due to salary.
