This service could negotiate salaries on behalf of EAs or others who would then commit a proportion of the extra to charity. This would increase the amount of money going to EA causes, promote Effective Altruism and draw people deeper into the community. Given the number of EAs who are working at high-paying tech companies this would likely be profitable.
(I remembered hearing this idea from someone else a few years back, but I can’t remember who it was, unfortunately, so I can’t give them credit unless they name themselves)
Risks: Might be expensive to find someone with the skills to do this and this might outweigh the money raised.
Hi Chris! We run this on a recurring base with Training For Good! We already had a few dozens of people on the program and we are currently measuring the impact.

I was suggesting an actual service and not just training.
