I’ve also been hearing on the 80K hrs podcast and several posts reflecting that our EA orgs have an issue deploying talent. They mention the difficultly assessing and onboarding candidates effectively. I’ve been considering if a workflow platform can provide a quick win and would be interested in exploring more.
Hi Patrick, thanks for your comment and message. Do you think there are parts of the “assessing and onboarding candidates” problem that are distinctive to EA organisations/efforts?
If the problems apply to hiring organisations generally, it’s more likely that the need could be addressed by existing generic solutions with large markets (e.g. recruitment SaaS). If not, a niche solution could be promising.
Assessing and Onboarding candidates is a challenge for all organizations but it may be worse in EA as they may not be large enough to have HR departments and seem to have staff mainly to do the research but not people development and training. A lot of this tends to be maturing the culture so while there are commercial solutions, they have to meet the culture. I don’t look at the problem as developing new software but rather adapting something existing and operates at the right scale to get the job done.
