List of databases/​job boards to source promising job candidates from

[gergo]

I recently compiled this list for a grant application, so I thought I would share it here too. If you can think of any other resources please share it in the comments. If you or your org is on the list but you would prefer it not to be, please send me a dm!

Update: There is a google doc version that anyone can update and add new entries to. I recommend reading that for the latest version of this list.

Databases:

• Consultants for Impact’s database

• Successif’s CRM

• ProbablyGood’s CRM

• High Impact Professionals’s directory

• Arkose’s CRM

• Bluedot’s CRM

• Catalyze’s applicant pool

• GovAi fellowship participants and applicants

• AI Safety camp may also have a CRM or is willing to share jobs on their mailing list

• Halcyon Futures’s CRM

• Talos’s CRM

• EA Virtual Program graduates

• Ask CEA to share EAG(x) conference attendees with a relevant interests/​location

• ENAIS—our extended database has 288 people at the moment

• OSP’s and FSP’s CRM

• Open call on the EA and LW forums

• Impact Op’s and other recruiter orgs’ networks (Are there other ones?)

• AIS Collab’s CRM

• Network of local EA/​AIS groups

• If there is a recent/​upcoming EAG(x) conference, their slack space

• AGI Moratorium Slack

• EA mental health slack (if relevant, I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to share job ads)

• Global EA discussion slack

• CEA’s in-depth seminar programme slack (maybe they also have one for the intro course)

Thanks, this is helpful Is it worth adding links to this?

[gergo]

Yeah it would be! tbh i just wanted to publish it fast as originally it wasn’t intended for the forum, but figured I would share it. I might add the hyperlinks later

[FlorentBerthet]

Nice! Could you share a link to a spreadsheet that will be updated regularly, so that this list doesn’t become obsolete over time?

[gergo]

I put the list in this doc, so anyone can add new entries and fix broken links etc. :)
