Opinions on the proposed initiative varied significantly. Supporters expressed enthusiasm, believing it could enhance the ecosystem by connecting visionaries with development talent and potentially fostering job opportunities. Some suggested additional features, like a job board for small tasks. Conversely, critics questioned the necessity of the proposal, arguing that existing organizations should address hiring challenges independently and prioritizing support for current builders over attracting new talent. Overall, the debate highlighted differing perspectives on the ecosystem's immediate needs and the role of centralized initiatives.

On behalf of the 🌶️ Hungarian Polkadot DAO 🌶️:
While we acknowledge Polkaworld’s concerns, we also believe this approach does not adequately address the unique challenges of Web3 talent acquisition. Traditional HR professionals often lack the specialized experience and mindset required for Web3 roles, as well as the expertise across the diverse verticals within the ecosystem. Even specialised HR agencies tend to focus on specific domains, making it unrealistic for a single individual to cover all necessary areas effectively. Therefore, a project- or task-based approach is more appropriate than delegating authority to a single person.

JAM Implementers DAO votes AYE on this proposal
There’s a persistent gap between ecosystem needs and available talent. Teams remain understaffed while qualified contributors sit idle. A Talent Lead role could serve as the much-needed connective tissue between open roles and willing contributors.
While not perfect, this proposal introduces structure and accountability to a problem previously handled ad hoc. It defines deliverables (e.g., Talent Hub, pipeline design) and KPIs (e.g., ≥20 verified placements, roadmap for year 2).
While JAM DAO acknowledges concerns around centralization, as raised by some members of the DAO, it supports this proposal as an experiment worth running, with the understanding that ongoing public updates, decentralized oversight, and clear impact measurement will be expected.
