Neil Ferro
Bio
I am a cofounder of a hiring agency for the Effective Altruism community.
I'm a passionate advocate for maximising positive impact in this world. Personally, I would describe myself as a walking encyclopedia as I'm always intellectually curious and open-minded to new information and experiences. My friends would describe me as an empathetic, warm and supportive, and a conscientious individual.
Professionally, I'm a driven and resilient entrepreneur, community builder and mentor with a wide variety of skills. Through my multidisciplinary experiences, I am able to synthesise disparate information to create unique insights, predict future trends and connect likeminded people and ideas. I’m inspired most by unlocking people’s potential and helping them find the most fulfilling career paths through coaching and mentoring as well l partnering with organisations to find the best talent.
How others can help me
I am looking to speak with people in the EA community who have hired or are looking to hire to find out what are their experiences with the hiring process.
How I can help others
Helping the Effective Altruism (EA) community create a streamlined and more effective talent pipeline by starting a hiring agency that will partner with EA members and organisations to hire the ideal candidates.
