We’re only 3 months away from Election Day, and the job market in this sector is about to change dramatically.

If you're planning a career move this fall, now is the time to prepare — not after everyone else enters the market.

If you're job-searching, we're covering how to make sure your All Hands profile is most visible to hiring managers. If your org is bracing for layoffs or planning to hire after the election, reply to this email and let's get ahead of it together.

🔍 How to get more introductions through All Hands:

Haven't touched your profile in over a year? It's quietly falling out of hiring partners' search results — even if nothing about your experience has changed.

A quick refresh is all it takes to move back to the top.

🔑 Where to find curated job opportunities:

When you're looking for roles to apply to, quality is more important than quantity.

Job fairies are quietly curating and circulating roles you won’t find anywhere else — that's why we just added new job fairies to our list yesterday.

🤝 How we're breaking the cycle of unemployment post-election:

Cultivate is working on an ambitious project to retain cycle staff impacted by layoffs through our outplacement program — powered by All Hands, our talent matchmaking program.

It’s arguably the most important work we do.

If your team is expecting to let staff go post-election or planning to hire, please reply to this email to play a role in closing the employment gap in this sector as quickly as possible.
