Taylor Desseyn reflects on building Torque, a Discord community for job seekers. Most new members heard about it from friends, and the focus is on creating a supportive space as the project grows from its early stages.
Whenever I fly, I try to get on Discord, our Torque Discord. I can't get on our Torque Discord as much as I want to, just because of just how busy I am. Man, so one of the things I'm really passionate about at Torque is welcoming everybody in on the Discord. So it's like, I tell my team, anybody who joins, please welcome them. So I try to welcome everybody. And I was reading through one of the questions we have on the Torque Discord when you join, it's like, how'd you hear about us? And like most of the ones I responded to today were like, I heard about you from a friend. I heard about you from a friend. I heard about you from a friend that you can help with the job search. I heard about you from a friend. I'm struggling in my job search. Like, I don't know, like this, this, this idea I have, this idea that I've had for the longest time about making Torque the best community if you need help finding a job, like we're so early stages still, but like it's happening.
