Hello Everyone, I'm currently exploring the idea of a solution tailored for ML engineers and technologists. While I have a background in recruiting, I've often found myself dissatisfied with the typical recruitment process. It seems that many recruiters don't always appreciate the importance of working with candidates or understand the impact on people's livelihoods and careers. What I'm proposing is the creation of a career representation firm specifically designed for purpose-driven technologists specializing in data, product, and hardware careers. This firm would advocate for the career interests of the most passionate ML engineers. Our representation would encompass: - Strategic Career Development: Crafting a strategic approach to help engineers secure opportunities aligned with their desired projects and professional development. - Impact Matching: Identifying and connecting engineers with projects and teams where their technical skills, career goals, and personal interests can have the greatest positive impact, ensuring that your work aligns with your values and aspirations. - Industry Leadership: Positioning you as an industry leader by marketing your expertise and securing speaking engagements at conferences and other events, enhancing your professional visibility and reputation. In return for this representation, engineers would commit to a 3% fee deducted from their salary, which would support the services provided by the firm. Would you be interested in participating in such a service? If not, would you consider recommending it to someone you know? If you are in favor of this idea, what makes you believe it would be advantageous for others even if it might not be your preference? Do you think you could personally benefit from this type of career representation? Thanks! #tech #MachineLearning #Technologist #CareerRepresentation #impact #agent #EngineeringManager

Thanks for taking the time to let me know! Do you mind sharing why you feel this way?
Absolutely not. You come across as a sleazy salesman. The activities you described cannot be outsourced.
Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts! While I completely disagree with your comments regarding the "sleazy salesman", I am curious about your thoughts about it not being able to be outsourced. I'm not seeking to provide a solution to an issue that is to be considered as outsourced, instead more of a partner for someone's entire career. Do you mind sharing more?
The best people never go for schemes like this. The worst ones do.
Hey there, thanks for your input. Do you mind elaborating on what makes you think this would be a scheme? Have you been "burned" by something like this in the past?

Build a list of companies first.
Hey, thanks for your input! Just so I understand, are you saying that I should build a list of companies that are interested in hiring from a pool of purpose-driven technologists? If so, I had the thought of first building relationships with the technologists who wish to have an impactful influence within their market and representing them. I.E. focusing on the people first rather than the companies. Feel free to share your thoughts, I'd really appreciate it!
There's no shortage of folks building a database of resumes. The value for us will come from the list of companies. Otherwise it's practically just another third party recruiter.
