It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Four ideas you probably already agree with
That could mean you're already on board with effective altruism
It’s important to help others
When people are in need and we can help them, we think that we should. Most people think millionaires should give back, but few realize that even those earning the median wage in a rich country typically rank among the global top 5% of the world’s wealthy. See where you fall on the global income scale.

Everyone deserves equal consideration
Everyone has an equal claim to being happy, healthy, fulfilled and free, whatever their circumstances. Everyone matters, wherever they live, however rich they are, and whatever their ethnicity, age, gender, ability, or religious views.
Helping more is better than helping less
All else being equal, we should save more lives, help people live longer, and make more people happier. If the same resources will improve 20 lives instead of one, it’s better to improve 20.
Our resources are limited
We have a finite amount of money to spend. This is also true of our time. Choosing to spend money or time on one option is an implicit choice not to spend it on other options.

People are equal
Helping more is better than helping less

Why this might be humanity’s most important century
Holden Karnofsky
“Many of the concepts in effective altruism will be familiar to economists. What is unusual is to see these tools used to develop a practical guide on how to live an ethical life. It doesn’t tell you what choices to make; instead it sets out a simple framework for how to think through decisions.”
Dr. Rachel Glennerster, Associate Professor at the University of Chicago
