80,000 Hours: Job Board -> Job Bards

April 3, 2026: Job Bards has moved to https://jobs.80000hours.org/music. The below announcement has not been edited from its original form. 

Hi everybody!

I'm Conor. I run the 80,000 Hours Job Board. Or I used to. As of today — April 1 — we are becoming Job Bards!

You may not know that the number one complaint that people have about job boards is sensory poverty. While movie theatres have dared to experiment with haptics and smell-o-vision, no job board has even dared to become an audiovisual experience. Until now.

We believe Job Bards is the premium job board experience, and all job boards that don't make the leap will fall the way of silent films. While this innovation is sure to frighten many, we hope our FAQ can answer any concerns.
