Own The Conversation - Issue 102
The Bot Jobs People Index | Conversational AI Jobs | Mentoring | Events | It's Own The Conversation #102
Colleagues
A couple of months ago, Dashbot shared with me their eBook - Chatbot Intelligence Maturity Curve - and set me a challenge:
Can Bot Jobs map the Dashbot Intelligence Maturity Curve to the people and talent requirements for each stage? The simple answer was “yes”, but I was delighted to start looking at the talent strategy for businesses who are starting, or on their, Conversational AI journey.
To this end, I am delighted to announce our latest eBook: The Bot Jobs People Index. Based on the Dashbot Chatbot Intelligence Maturity Curve, this ebook offers a strategic guide for organisations to align their talent development with the growth of their Conversational AI systems. The Bot Jobs People Index explores the journey from hiring versatile generalists to building specialised, high-performance teams. The eBook covers assessing team maturity, recruiting talent at each stage, and optimising your chatbot capabilities to drive long-term success. Perfect for HR and Talent leaders seeking to maximise their organisation’s Conversational AI strategy, from a people perspective.
And now that the eBook is out, Dashbot and Bot Jobs are coming together to discuss how both the Curve and the Index can work together to really turbocharge your Conversational AI strategy.

The State of the Conversation Design Jobs Market
Back before the summer, I was invited to talk at UNPARSED, where I presented the findings of some data analysis on over 3,500 Conversation Design job adverts that have been on Bot Jobs since December 2020.
If you want to take a look at my analysis of the employment market for Conversation Designers, feel free to download the report here.
I also, had the pleasure of joining Kane Simms on the VUX World podcast to discuss the findings in the report.
Jobs
There are too many jobs to post here individually, so here are the job categories that you can get to quickly from here.
#Computational Linguistics Roles#
FYI, if you want timely alerts on roles added to Bot Jobs, then we already have email notifications, which you can sign up to at Bot Jobs, the jobs are all posted to our LinkedIn page and we have a LinkedIn newsletter for regular lists of roles available. I even post them to my X (formally, Twitter) feed and now to our own subreddit.
There are three ways that I help connect job seekers to opportunities, and employers to Conversational AI professionals:
Bot Jobs… The original and largest job board dedicated to Conversational AI roles, globally. Register for job alerts and get the latest jobs straight into your inbox daily or weekly. Remember, readers of this newsletter get 25% off their first featured post by using the coupon code “SUBSCRIBER”.
Bot Jobs Talent Pool… Employers, by getting access to the Talent Pool, can get direct access to candidates without the hassle of advertising and screening applications. If you’re in the market for a new role, or even a conversation, then make sure your profile is up to date and that you turn on the “Display my profile to employers” option on your profile.
Bot Jobs Freelancers… As a freelancer, by joining us, you can not only showcase your skills with your free portfolio builder but also connect with businesses that value your expertise. As a business member, you get to tap into a pool of talented freelancers ready to bring their unique perspectives to your projects.
Bot Jobs Mentors
We now have three kind community members who have put themselves forward as mentors. Will you?
Just hit the ‘Post a job’ button and select the free 'Mentoring’ option.
Events to Attend: 2024 events
I’m curating a crowdsourced list of events to attend in 2024. 30+ events already listed. Are you running a meetup, webinar, summit or conference? Take a look and remember to add your event here. Networking at these kinds of events has brought new opportunities for community members, so make sure to take advantage of any event you can.
As always, if you want to add anything to the next newsletter (events/jobs etc.) then feel free to DM me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Threads.
Here’s hoping you have a great week.
Yours in AI,
Martyn
