Roadmap

A calendar of Tech for Good events near me

Meetups, conferences and workshops related to Tech for Good near you, gathered in the same place as the opportunities.

Share jobs in partner communities' own spaces

Automatically push relevant jobs into existing communities' workspaces (freelancers, data, responsible tech…) rather than asking everyone to join yet another platform.

An up-to-date help centre and FAQ

A help page that explains each feature (directory, needs, messages, forum, roadmap) and answers frequent questions.

Advisors: offer a simple introduction

A lightweight listing type for advisors, with no salary and no application, just a "Contact" button to introduce an organisation they support to an expert.

Advisors: track replies to jobs posted for an organisation

See who replied to jobs posted on behalf of an organisation you support, make the introduction, then invite the organisation to take over its account.

Verified reviews and results on expert profiles

Let an organisation that worked with an expert leave a verified review and a concrete result, shown on the expert's profile. A way to choose on evidence rather than on a self-description.

Free themed video calls between members

Short video sessions on a specific topic (pricing a mission, answering a call for projects, finding your first impact clients), run by members.

Get public tenders suited to freelancers

Spot, among public procurement notices (BOAMP), the tenders open to a freelancer or a small collective, in my fields.

Little demand so far: your votes will tell us whether it is worth it.

Follow an employer and get notified of new jobs

From an employer's page, follow it to be told when it posts a new job or announces a funding round.

Job suggestions that understand what my profile means

Go beyond keywords: match jobs and profiles on meaning (an "advocacy officer" and a "public affairs manager" do the same job).

The first measurement of the match scoring was done on 30 October. Decision in November.

See the latest Tech for Good funding rounds

A list of impact organisations that have just raised funds, with the amount, the date and a link to their page. A funding round often means hiring is coming, so you can get in touch before the job posts go out.

Funding rounds are already collected every day. What remains is showing them to members.

Hear about organisations' needs first

Get the needs of member organisations that match your profile on the day they are posted, before they circulate elsewhere. The organisation no longer has to dig through the suggested profiles on its own.

Business referrals between members

Pass a mission you are not taking on to another member, and be credited when it succeeds.

More visibility in the directory

Appear higher when an organisation looks for an expert in your field in the directory.

Recommend a member or share a mission for one of my clients

Be able to post "I am looking for someone for one of my clients" or recommend a member for a mission, with a clear view of where each opportunity comes from. Or share an opportunity you saw elsewhere by pasting its link; Inpactum picks up its content and, after review, shows it with the name of the member who shared it. Opportunities brought by people, not only by robots.

Three members described it independently in interviews. We are testing it by hand before building anything.

A 30-second questionnaire to find the right expert

For an organisation that struggles to put its need into words: a few quick questions, then a short list of suitable experts and resources.

A first version already guides organisations in describing a need; we are looking at how to make it shorter.

Filter the directory by "Can help with"

Now that everyone can say what they are looking for and what they can help with, be able to filter the directory on those topics to find the right person.

Opens once 40 public profiles have filled in this field, so the filter does not come up empty.

A more forgiving job search

Search should understand "remote", "freelance", "permanent" or a region typed in the search bar, forgive a typo, allow several job titles at once, and suggest close matches when there are no results.

A first step on 29 October: acronyms (“AI”, “HR”) and compound words (“no-code”) are better understood. Typos, several job titles at once and close matches when nothing fits are still to come.

A better mobile experience

Actions reachable on directory cards, buttons that are easier to tap, a smoother side menu, and a more readable onboarding on small screens. 40% of visits come from phones.

Progress in late October and early November: easier-to-tap buttons in messages, the forum and notifications, a reworked side menu, and a more compact jobs list with a sticky filter bar. The directory cards and onboarding remain.

Get matching jobs by email

Instead of coming back to search /jobs, receive each week the jobs and missions that match my skills, contract type and area. It was the most requested item in the September survey.

Since 2 November, the expert subscription sends a daily email with the new jobs that match your profile. The free Saturday digest still ranks its jobs by your profile.

A Favourites page to find what I have saved

A menu entry showing how many favourites I have, and a page gathering saved jobs, resources and profiles, with the usual search and filters.

Shipped on 1 November. “Your space”, on the dashboard, gathers all your saved items, with a filter by type.

Install Inpactum and get notified right away of a message or a reply

Add Inpactum to your phone's home screen or to your computer, without going through an app store, and get a notification as soon as a member writes to you or replies, even when the site is closed. Turn it on or off in your notification settings.

Shipped on 29 September. Install Inpactum from your settings, then turn on notifications on each device. Alerts for jobs that match your profile will follow through the same channel.

Notifications that open the right message

Clicking a reply or mention notification opened the channel, but not the message itself. You had to look for it by hand.

Shipped on 28 August: the notification opens the message and its reply directly. Requested in the September survey.

Full job titles readable on mobile

On phones, job titles were cut after one line: you could not tell which role it was without opening the listing.

Shipped on 8 September: titles now span two lines. Requested in the September survey.

Return to the same place in the list after opening a job

After opening a job and going back, the list jumped to the top. Browsing several jobs in a row was tedious.

Shipped on 17 September: the list keeps your position and marks jobs you have already seen. Requested in the September survey.

Say what I am looking for and what I can help with

Be able to state on my profile what I am looking for right now and which topics I can help with, so the right people come to me rather than the other way round.

Shipped on 21 September: fill it in on your profile; it shows on your page and in the directory. Introductions that come to you: 10 out of 11 survey answers.

Know where a job comes from and who to write to

Jobs arrived without any way to know where they came from or whom to contact at the employer to get a referral.

Shipped on 21 September: a page for every employer and a "Who to write to" card on job listings. Requested in the September survey.

Save my searches and exclude some companies

Save several named searches (for example "freelance data Lyon" and "remote product permanent") and hide, once and for all, the companies or sources I am not interested in.

Shipped in early November with the expert subscription. An alert is created from the jobs list using your current filters, and can leave out companies or source sites.

Prefill my profile from LinkedIn

Import my experience and skills from LinkedIn so I do not have to type everything again at sign-up, which feels long.

Shipped in v0.143.0: import your CV or your LinkedIn profile PDF export from “Edit my profile”, then review the suggestions on your profile.
