At least in my experience, any academic institution in the
Scandinavian countries. Applicants are evaluated by an external
committee, which produces an annotated ranking. The ranking is made
known to all applicants, and is available for consultation by members
of the public. I don't believe it's posted in either physical
billboards or websites, but anyone who asks can find out the results.

The openness doesn't seem to discourage applicants. After all, anyone
with even a slight familiarity with academia knows that getting a
paper, a grant or a job application rejected is par for the course. I
find the pudency with which such rejections are kept from public
scrutiny elsewhere in the West quite Victorian.
