My feedback is that yet another website/airtable/tool of sorts collecting offers or serving as a candidate pipeline provides zero value to the community. The feeling I have is that there’s a glut in the market caused by lack of opportunities, I.e. budgeted permanent positions for mid-careers and above (not to be mistaken with needs — of course there’s demand for experience and seniority.)
What I‘d like to see instead, as someone trying to pivot to a meaningful career, is curated honest and periodically refreshed intel on the ask side, including:
Total workforce in EA-aligned orgs (or funded by EA-aligned grants) by geography,
Employee turnover rates by tenure,
New openings as share of total employees,
Layoffs over trailing X months, etc.
Armed with such knowledge you’re starting to see the big picture and can make decisions about how to position yourself and where to aim.
And for the love of all that’s holy, with each new AI-powered recruitment nonsense you’d just be building an additional layer of walls of impersonality, and I’d take cold email spam over the „solution” any day of the week.
