Happy collision - I just thought about more or less the same yesterday when planning my visit to the European Community Weekend in Berlin. I wondered about networking possibilities and whether recruiters shouldn't flock to such events. But maybe LW is not exactly the kind of target group. Or is it?
In any case I just planned to write a post to ask whether there are any efforts for networking and if these are wanted/encouraged. Maybe you can add an LW poll to your post?
I was thinking that the Google Form I made is a type of poll. What would the LW poll include?
Your form gives you high density information that partly isn't suitable for public viewing. Also it has a higher barrier of entry.
A poll could just ask:
Do you think explicit business networking for LWers is a good idea in general . (Maybe a range of values)
Do you want to be asked for business contacts?
Do you have business contacts/jobs/projects to offer?
Would you mind recruiters on LW (e.g. an recruiter thread) or on (larger) LW meetups?
ADDED: See http://lesswrong.com/lw/ekw/less_wrong_polls_in_comments/ for polls.
OK, thanks. I made almost all fields optional to make it easy. Also, perhaps the 3 minutes required for the form is a better sign of support for the idea than a quick poll selection.
As to the last two items in your list -- yes, these are excellent directions to explore if we sense that there is enough interest. Let's see what the results of the survey are.
