Thanks for doing this! Do you have data on how many recruiters are using the list? What companies do they represent?

@indegow1 Thanks for the message Gowri. We don’t track our users in detail however we do know recruiters from Apple, Amazon, NerdWallet, Mighty, and Thrive Global have told us that they are using Parachute! Over 2,700 people have searched for talent on the site so far, most are likely recruiters or hiring managers. Let us know if you have any other questions :)

@indegow1 @zach1taylor1 One of the reasons we don't have more detailed data on recruiters/hiring managers is that we make it very easy to look through the profiles - no sign up needed! At this critical time, we made that decision to make the product as approachable as possible.

Hey, I'm Arjun — the co-founder of Rocket. It has been heartbreaking seeing so many talented folks being laid off and losing their livelihoods recently. As a team at Rocket, an AI enhanced recruiting agency, we saw this impact firsthand. Seeing spreadsheet after spreadsheet of impacted employees we began asking affected employees and recruiters alike: “How can we help you during this time of uncertainty?” It was clear that over the last few weeks, the sheer volume of layoff spreadsheets became overwhelming for recruiters to browse through and effectively use. That insight drove us to build Parachute — our first step towards helping those recently impacted by downsizing events. Using Parachute, you can access the largest list of quality candidates all in one place with the ability to easily filter by every attribute imaginable. We hope you can find it useful if you are: A) Hiring - Browse the list to easily source talent B) Recently affected by a layoff - Please feel free to add yourself C) Wanting to help your former team - We can help you gather the information you need to build your list and give it visibility Please let us know what you think. We are just getting started but want to keep improving this as long as it continues to deliver value.

How are you protecting the PII (personally identifiable info) of the people on the list? With all the email addresses so publicly shared, I'd be concerned about making these job seekers an easy target for spammers & scammers.

@eva_nazarewicz Thank you for the important question. We share the email address of the impacted candidates [that they themselves have volunteered] to make it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to reach out to the candidates quickly! We considered only allowing recruiters and hiring managers to access the LinkedIn profile and using LinkedIn Inmails or other 3rd party services from there to reach out to the candidates but our conversations with recruiters led us to believe that there was real friction in doing so (for example, LinkedIn Inmails are pretty expensive and finding personal emails is a challenge). Our conversations with many impacted candidates led us to believe that this is a reasonable use case for the moment since the potential positive impact (get a new role quickly) outweighs the very real downside of sharing the email address. If we see potential abuse of the platform, we can add a signup flow before being able to access the email addresses.
