Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Open Philanthropy is hiring people to… help hire more people!, published by maura on August 17, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
Open Philanthropy needs
more recruiters. We'd love to see you
apply, even if you've never worked in hiring before.
"Recruiting" is sometimes used to narrowly refer to headhunting or outreach. At Open Phil, though, "recruiting" includes everything related to the hiring process. Our recruiting team manages the systems and people that take us from applications to offers. We design evaluations, interview candidates, manage stakeholders, etc.[1]
We're looking for
An operations mindset. Recruiting is project management, first and foremost; we want people who can reliably juggle lots of balls without dropping them.
Interpersonal skills. We want clear communicators with good people judgment.
Interest in Open Phil's mission. This is an intentionally broad definition-see below!
What you don't need
Prior recruiting experience. We'll teach you!
To be well-networked or highly immersed in EA. You should be familiar with the areas Open Phil works in (such as
global health and wellbeing and global catastrophic risks), but if you're wondering "Am I EA enough for this?", you almost certainly are.
The
job application will be posted to OP's website in coming weeks, but isn't there yet as of this post; we're starting with targeted outreach to high-context audiences (you!) before expanding our search to broader channels.
If this role isn't for you but might be for someone in your network, please send them our way-we offer a
reward if you counterfactually refer someone we end up hiring.

The OP recruiting team also does headhunting and outreach, though, and we're open to hiring more folks to help with that work, too! If that sounds exciting to you, please apply to the
current recruiter posting and mention an interest in outreach work in the "anything else" field.
