I agree that as EA grows, I believe there will be an increase in demand for recruiters (in-house to organizations, and external in different niches/cause areas). And I also have observed that there are not many people with prior experience in recruiting within the EA ecosystem, but many people could have the skills and aptitudes that could make them a good recruiter.
Recruiting is also a relatively flexible career, with opportunities in many sectors all around the world!
I hope that people who are hiring for recruiters within EA make it explicit when they need someone with past experience, and when they’re able to provide training/mentorship to support someone who could excel in the role with the right supports.
Hi Lee, thanks a lot for your comment and perspective—I second that. Given the variety of skills and education in the EA community, I am quite optimistic that there are enough people who could work successfully as a recruiter for EA (or EA-aligned) organizations, even without prior experience in this field. Training and mentorship could be very helpful in these cases. I’d be happy to offer some sort of support, as we have a lot of recruitment experience in our Tälist team. :-)
Thank you for this article, Pia!
