A job matching service for affected FTXFF grantees

Hey Sarah,

Great question. Short answer is we don't know as we haven't gotten feedback loops on it.

We proactively shared the list of candidates with many organizations who were interested and also added the list of candidates to our talent directory so there is still the potential for further matches, but without the feedback loops it is hard to be more concrete. 

We will do a broader survey to organizations and to sign ups later in the year to see how many matches were facilited but it is quite costly to do so so we've prioritized getting new features out.

Hope this is helpful.

Great initiative! People who've gotten laid off are also welcome to sign-up to our talent directory - we will try to get you placed at a high-impact organization. More in our post.

Also, happy to coordinate with you on this @nicolenohemi  if you think it makes sense.

Yes! This is the right answer. We have a question about this on the sign up form and plan on forwarding those interested to the EA good governance project.

Since this has generated so much interested it is worth noting that the Center for Reducing Suffering is hiring for a Communications Director, so if you are knowledgable about s-risks do check out the job description.

Which social media the group uses is listed for each record and you can inline filter for anything you care about (e.g. "hide all the ones using facebook", "show only those using slack").

Hi there,

Thanks for the comments! To some of your points:

  1. Fixed this - we had this at some point but something must have happened...
  2. Not sure what you mean by this one. Can you elaborate?
  3. We know about this feature but want to be able to present working groups all by themselves and on a site that caters to a broader audience than the forum. It is possible we will add this to the forum at some point as well.

Since I rarely open Facebook I would never see content posted there, so maybe it is not worth looking for a group on the platform. So it could have a column listing what kind of platform community is on. This would enable to filter out quickly. Some people use more Facebook, others use more Slack, others use EA forum etc. There is so much on the internet and limited time. I wonder: * how many EAs use Facebook; * how many members these groups have; * how active  groups are (do members visit groups); * how often posts are seen and how many see them (because of Facebook algorithm not showing posts); * what is the response/success rate (do people find the answers when they post?), do they find  it is worth continue using? Is there a sense of community created etc. Same questions could be asked about Slack and other platforms. Slack does not have an algorithm, so every message has to be read, but how many people visit communities on Slack (everyday, once a week, once a month?) How different platforms and groups compare? For example, Entrepreneurship group does better on Facebook or Slack?

Hi Anjay, thanks for the shoutout and we at HIP couldn't agree more that EA workplace and professional groups are important: that is why we are putting such a focus on them in our organization. 

If anyone is interested in starting a group at their organization or for their industry, please pm us here. Also, we are going to publish a current list of workplace and professional groups on our site and in the forum some time next week, so look out for that if you are a professional looking to join a group.

Hi John, thanks for your comment. Yes, there are indeed many more groups that this, both in the private and public sectors. We only presented here the top 30 orgs according to number of EAs.

We are going to publish a list of all workplace and professional groups on our website soon and will post in the forum when we do.
