Rock Rabbit hired 3 engineers through ClimateTechList
We posted our Software Engineer role on ClimateTechList and had an incredible response - over 30 qualified candidates applied, which was far beyond our expectations.
From this single posting, we extended 4 offers and successfully hired 3 engineers (including 2 from the ClimateTechList post directly and 1 from the Work on Climate Slack, which we know has strong overlap with the ClimateTechList community).
What stood out was the quality and passion of the candidates - they were already motivated to use their technical skills to fight climate change, which aligned perfectly with our mission at Rock Rabbit. This made the hiring process much more efficient compared to other recruiting channels.
The experience was so positive that I've been recommending ClimateTechList to our board and other investors as a go-to resource for technical hiring in climate tech.

Jasmine used ClimateTechList to start her climate tech journey at NYSERDA
The "New to Climate" resources page was not only super useful for informing myself on the current landscape (Speed and Scale is such a great read!), but also an inspiring catalyst for me to start engaging with the climate tech community, especially in-person in NYC. The resources and blog posts are incredibly helpful and well-curated (not to mention the entire ClimateTechList itself). Definitely recommend ClimateTechList as the starting point for anyone wanting to understand the world of climate tech and how to get involved!

Thanks Steven! I wasn't really considering climate tech as a career pathway until I read your post and article about starting from first principles in thinking about what I want in a career. Now, I realized that the spark I was missing in my career (which I once had and lost) is EXACTLY what you described in your Linkedin post about first principle decision making.
— Jason Wang, Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer
Thanks for compiling all the great resources related to climate tech into one place - very helpful for folks like me who are newly acquainted with this field yet have a keen interest and don't know where to start. I listened to a few episodes of MCJ over the weekend and I was fascinated by the decarbonizing cement episode.
— Liana Lei, Consultant at Boston Consulting Group
I started exploring climate tech as a mechanical engineer last year, and Boston Climate Tech & ClimateTechList was one of the most useful tools in exploring the ecosystem. It was a wonderful one-stop shop! I went to several exploration and networking events, found relevant jobs and companies, and was connected to other important resources that helped me in my career transition.
I specifically want to call out brilliance of the job board being hosted on a daily-updated Airtable base — I haven't found any other job board that gives this level of customization to be able to search for queries such as "(Job location contains MA or Job Location contains CA) AND (Job title contains mechanical engineer or Job title contains hardware engineer or Job title contains system engineer)".
This is really helpful to all hardware engineers and me specifically as a person who wants to wear many hats and not looking for a typical role.
— Mukul Bhatt, Robotics & Systems Engineer
