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: Probably Good launched a new job board!, published by Probably Good on May 7, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
We're excited to share a new addition to our site:
an impact-focused job board!
We've considered launching a job board for some time, so we're happy to add this feature to the Probably Good site. The job board aims to:
Help people find more promising job opportunities, including in cause areas that aren't as thoroughly covered by other impact-focused boards such as
80,000 Hours and
Animal Advocacy Careers.
Direct our audience to concrete opportunities that meet a high standard of impact.
Reduce friction for people on our site to take the first step towards a career change, by providing opportunities to apply for or just exposing them to new options.
As Animal Advocacy Careers
have highlighted before, job boards are often the primary gateway to career advice sites, and so we hope the job board will also extend our content's reach and general impact.
Why we're launching a job board
We want more people to find genuinely impactful opportunities. Our target audience focuses on people who might not be familiar with EA but are motivated to do good with their careers. Many of our users might search for jobs on more general non-profit job boards, which do not aim to prioritize opportunities based on impact. We hope our job board will increase people's exposure to opportunities that have a higher chance of making a significant impact.
We want to make the process of finding high-impact jobs approachable, across a variety of cause areas. Other scale-sensitive job boards we support and link to focus on a narrower set of cause areas, either in scope or in tone. We hope to complement these job boards with additional opportunities from multiple cause areas and make many of those opportunities accessible to a broader, or just different, audience.
Several leaders of high-impact organizations in Global Health & Development and other cause areas have expressed interest in this kind of resource for future recruitment as well.
We want to make it easy for readers on our site to find high-impact jobs that meet their constraints. We understand that different people have very different career constraints, such as being unable to move geographically, having family responsibilities, or needing to meet specific salary requirements.
If someone is already on our site, we want to meet them where they're at by sharing opportunities that are both impactful and aligned with their individual values, interests, requirements, and current work experience.
How you can help
Start using the job board! If you're excited about it and find it useful, please share it with people who might be interested in this kind of resource.
This is an initial product, so we're working to improve it and will continue to make changes that increase the value it provides users. We'll add more features and expand the scope of the board as we go, but we'd love to hear feedback from users. If you have any ideas for increased functionality or would like to suggest jobs or organizations to feature on the board,
please get in touch!
Final Notes
If you've read this far and want to consult on career opportunities that are good for you and good for the world, we think you might be a good candidate for our
free 1-1 advising service. If you're interested, please apply on our site - or send the page to anyone you think might benefit from an advising call. Additionally, if you want to know other ways Probably Good can support you (or your local group) further,
feel free to reach out.
