Comment on Ask HN: Remote Work for Refugees and Asylum Seekers?

Comments

I like the spirit. How would you confirm that only applicants from affected populations take the jobs?

Would you need to confirm this? I think the benefit would be that refugees would have an option that would allow them to work, not that you could necessarily ensure you were hiring only refugees.

So now we just have a job board without id verification.

Yes, because the ones oppressing the refugees may be the ones posing as refugees. Of course nothing is as clean and easy we would like it to be.

Unless it's for charity, I don't know who'd hire someone like this over another remote worker in a less precarious and unstable situation. If it's for charity, there are more efficient ways to help people.

Like the other commenter said, I like the spirit. But I don't see it happening, I'm afraid.
