A group of us are building some Twitter bots which retweet EA jobs. Let us know in the comments if you think this is a good idea and what you think the hashtags should be.
Why we think this is a good use of our time
The EA community seems in agreement that matching people to jobs is important
Twitter is a place that lots of people hang out
Often people tweet EA jobs which get little traction
It feels weird to retweet an EA job sometimes because your followers aren’t EAs
We could make it easier for EAs to find jobs on Twitter by creating specific channels for them to find them, a twitter bot
People who want EA jobs follow the bots, people sharing EA jobs tweet or quote tweet them with appropriate hashtags
More detail
A group of us, Garrett, Julian, Scott and myself, are building a set of twitter bots. Anyone can join the project by joining our WhatsApp here. Each bot will retweet a certain type of job by retweeting all tweets with that hashtag. That way, if you want to hear about careers in animal advocacy, AI or global development you just follow the right bot.
Initially, the bots will retweet their own hashtag. In time, we might make them automatically post from trusted EA jobs boards.
Please fill in this survey
Here is a survey about what hashtags, cause areas and roles, to look at.
If you’d like to help, join this WhatsApp group. It’s a doocracy so there won’t be someone telling you what to do, but don’t worry all skill levels are welcome. I’m no great shakes as a coder, so don’t let that stop you.
The roadmap is here, if something confuses you, comment on it:
