Matching talented people in the EA community with high-impact jobs is important.
But at the moment there is inefficiency and friction in the process.
Would it be possible to use AI to help?
Maybe we could create a system which can:
- 'read' all the jobs on the 80,000 Hours Jobs Board - plus info on the web about the hiring orgs, for context
- 'read' information from people who are looking for jobs - e.g. they might fill in a questionnaire, with questions like "what sort of job are you looking for?", "what skills do you have?", etc
- match people to jobs which could be a good fit - e.g., suggest 5 top jobs that job-seekers might want to consider.
What do you think? Could a tailored version of an existing LLM do this?
(I tried doing this using GPT 4 a few months ago, for non-EA jobs, and it was surprisingly rubbish. But, I am totally non-technical and am not an expert on prompt engineering.)
I'd be curious to hear if any technical people think this is doable, and would be interested in trying to create a Minimal Viable Product for this. Let me know if so - in the comments, or via DM! :)
