Hello all,
I have put together a database of Bounties HR staff and salaries.
This is something that a lot of Polkadot community members have been requesting since early 2024, as the number of bounty proposals began to increase.
The data presented can be used to:
- evaluate the effectiveness of bounties as a HR tool alongside the Bounty compliance standards 1.0 (approved by the Polkadot community as a WfC) and Bounties: Best practices (proposed by OpenGov.Watch)
- source experienced individuals for bootstrapping a new Bounty administrator role (proposed by Raul Romanutti from JUST Ventures)
Please advise if there are any changes to be made on the existing fields or entries. Also, feel free to duplicate, reuse, and refactor this database for your own initiatives/projects. Just keep in mind that this is still Work In Progress.
In the short term, I will be linking basic information about staff’s professional qualification(s) and/or experience into the Bounties HR database.
I also plan to create a second database for DevRel HR, as the next step towards bootstrapping a usable HR directory for the ecosystem.
Finally, I will be applying for a retroactive tip on OpenGov at a rate of $85 per hour for the time spent structuring, populating, and updating these databases. However, the ongoing maintenance of these databases would be best undertaken by future Bounty Administrators and/or an established ecosystem organisations in the long run.
Thank you and happy International Women’s Day!


Dear Anaelle,
lets talk because I am developing a small dapp to get all this information directly from chain. So maybe no need to manually update this specific database, when can be done automatically. Let’s give machine work to machines.
Public data, data in public: As questions bring to other questions, this data speaks about concentration of influence ( and accumulation of capital, maybe ). Should we restrict the number of “seats” that a ecosystem member can hold at certain moment of time? Like one in Polkadot and one in Kusama? Political decentralization.
Also, this can be leveraged as a perfect opportunity to bring new and fresh faces and ideas, something that Polkadot really needs.
( This is another issue of an open-ended ecosystem, different parties working on the same topic without knowing it).


Update
Basic information on Bounties staff’s professional experience and affiliated organisations is now available.
Please note that this data covers information that is publicly available on Polkassembly, Subsquare, Subscan, Polkadot Forum, Bounties docs, and Project websites. It does not include information posted on Twitter, Discord, Telegram, and Reddit.
As usual, feel free to duplicate, reuse, and refactor this database for the initiatives/projects that you maintain independently.
Thank you and happy April Fool’s day!

well detailled congrats Anaelle

Notion is an excellent tool for organization, I really like it, but it really has to be done manually, etc. But the level of control in Notion is fantastic!
I liked the idea of the app that Daniel mentioned, it seems to solve part of the problem, but not the whole problem… I think it will need testing.
But any app developed to improve people’s work is always welcome!
Keep up the good work Anaelle
