Very excited to run this with you! Below is a breakdown of the board and collectives that will make up the Bankless Pallet. For ease of use, we'll separate the Bankless Collective as a market maker (i.e Bankless helping to place candidates at companies, DAOs - one of which could be Bankless but also including others, etc.) and the internal Bankless DAO collective (Bankless staffing their own projects using Pallet).

[Bankless Talent Collective Form]

Bankless Talent Collective

• The bread and butter of what we talked about. The Talent Collective enables you to curate high-signal members from the community, recommend them to projects that are hiring and monetize off of successful hires.
• Ideally, this becomes a self-sustaining ecosystem of curated candidates. The overall Talent product is made up of two core components: The Collective and Drops
  • Importantly, we're implementing ways to incentivize Collective Curation. Ideally, every member in the Collective, whether they are looking for roles or not, has the economic upside to contribute to the growth of the entire Collective.
• NOTE: All of this will happen on Airtable to start, but will eventually happen on a real product. Anything that seems complex will just be manually tracked in the beginning.

The Collective

• You can think of it as "all people the Bankless community would vouch for as professionals"
• To start off with, invite L2 members of the Bankless DAO. Once they join, they not only have the ability to get introduced to awesome projects but can also earn ownership in the total earnings of the Collective by referring dope friends, vetting candidates, pulling in other hiring businesses, and more.
  • Thus, the L2 members will be the ones who effectively curate the rest of the collective

Drops

• Candidate drops are the users in the Collective who have specifically signaled they're open to chatting about new opportunities. People who have signaled that they are can do so either anonymously or publicly.
• This is the place that other companies or projects looking to make hires would do so!
  • I.E. if Uniswap wants to source candidates from Bankless they would do so primarily via the drops interface
• Upon a successful hire, the hiring party pays Bankless either some percent of salary or contract value (if a part-time role)
  • Can be done in whatever currency, especially since we'll run the beta with just a series of Airtables

Collective Curation

• Besides finding new opportunities and entering the Drop, people added to a Collective can earn pro-rata economic rights to the earnings of the Collective as a whole by contributing to its success. This is done via a "treasury" which receives the payouts from hiring businesses. You can denominate this treasury in whatever currency you may want.
• Members of a collective can get rewarded for:
  • Referring in new candidates that get placed in a project
  • Referring in new hiring businesses
  • Reviewing and vetting proposed new members of the Talent Collective
• Ownership rights are represented by "points" (name pending), which are non-tradeable assets that basically represent the total contribution of the Collective. People can redeem their points for the slice of the treasury at any point.
• Note: We suggest dedicating some resources to the treasury, to begin with. It will make it all that much more powerful (i.e if before it has even started there are 5000 BANK tokens in the treasury that people can start earning right away by contributing).
