People interested in global health & development and this post might be interested in applying to the Senior Researcher role at GiveWell, a non-profit focused on helping people do as much good as possible with their donations.
This is a test by the EA Forum Team to gauge interest in job ads relevant to posts - give us feedback here.
I weakly think a dedicated thread to job offers would be betterāactive jobseekers can more easily go through a thread, and this keeps the noise : signal ratio in comment sections lower.
It also means orgs wanting to hire will have a go-to place, instead of trying to advertise on every relevant post, which would make the comment section a less enjoyable place for me personally if everyone were to do this.
(I think if this is a test for job ads that are put out ONLY by the EA Forum team, thatād be better, but still probably worse than a dedicated thread)
Thanks for the feedback! This is one of multiple job-related tests weāre running on the forum, to see if we can find something impactful to build. We did try out your suggestion in the form of the Whoās hiring? (May-September 2022) thread, and weāre still analyzing the results. The difference here, as Lorenzo pointed out, is that we could potentially capture people who are not actively looking for a job but would consider applying if they were made aware of relevant opportunities.
Weāre testing this via comments because itās a cheap MVPāno coding necessary! :) But if we were to build out a feature it would likely be separate from the comments section, and come with an option to hide it.
I disagree, at least in the case of ājob posts only by the EA Forum Team, only for particularly impactful positionsā. The noise is small, the potential impact is high. I also donāt think people that might be a good fit for these highly competitive particularly impactful roles would necessarily be ājob seekersā that are actively looking for a job.
It will make the forum very slightly less enjoyable indeed, but I think itās net positive in terms of counterfactual impact.
