For organizations
What does your team actually need?
Sometimes the search needs to change before a new hire can solve the problem. We help you clarify the work, reconsider requirements and find people with relevant experience in other industries.
Organizations pay for our services under an individual agreement. Scope, fees and terms are agreed with each hiring team.
Who we are
A note from Sandra.
My background is in community building, career guidance and leading programs that help people move into work with social impact. I hold a PhD in philosophy of science and have worked across the effective altruism and AI safety communities.
That work has brought me close to both people considering a change in direction and teams with specific hiring needs. I started Ops Across to help connect them.
I want to understand what you’ve actually done, what you want to do next and where that experience could be useful. With hiring teams, I start with the work that needs doing and the skills it takes to do it.
Can I introduce myself without applying for a role?
Yes. Share your experience and interests through our general introduction form. We’ll contact you if there is a relevant next step.
Does it cost anything?
No. Our recruitment service is free for candidates. We do not charge you to apply, be introduced to an employer or be hired.
Will you share my information automatically?
No. We discuss the employer and opportunity with you, then ask for your permission before sharing your profile. Your submission is reviewed privately.
What happens after I submit?
The form confirms when your responses have been saved. We review them and contact you by email if there’s a potential match. We can’t promise a response within a fixed timeframe or guarantee an interview or offer.
