I am curious how this project went! I also have noticed that while EA job boards surface strong candidates, many small EA-aligned orgs (e.g. Ashgro, Safe AI Forum, and similar teams) simply don’t have the bandwidth to run a full recruiting process—timely follow-ups, structured screening, proactive sourcing, etc. That can create avoidable friction for both candidates and teams, even when there’s real mutual interest.
Because of that, I’m exploring whether there’s room for a small, opt-in recruiting/sourcing service that sits downstream of these job boards—focused on execution and candidate experience for hard-to-fill roles at capacity-constrained orgs.
Not thinking of this as a replacement for the job board or advising, just a complement. I see that this was already attempted and looks like nothing stuck, so curious to understand what the failure points were. There seems to be a strong need for this within the community in my opinion.
