Interesting, was this set up by someone from soundcloud or independently?
Does it matter?
Yes. If it was set up from outside it has the feel of imposing a job hunting strategy on people without their involvement.

Given the skill summary of each employee I'm guessing this is an insider effort. And kudos to them! This is a great way to turn a sad situation into a springboard for new opportunities. Would love to see it repeated in the future.
Also what would be the benefit to a head hunter in sharing this data?

#13OK, completely out of topic, but it's interesting to notice how broadly they use the term "data science". This goes to confirm my thinking that data science is becoming more and more an "all around data". The various facets of data science I am seeing in this spreadsheet: - BI - Data visualization - Data engineers - Statistician - Warehouse - SQL - Python-fu - Marketing I look at it and I think it's a great prove tha…
I welcome the breadth. Data science is science with data, right? What could be more broad? If anything, it will be nice to break the association somewhat between data science and AI hype.

#14I may have lost current trends, but this is very disturbing to me.
Putting up this data together is very disturbing and to be honest somewhat desperate in my eyes. Cannot these guys find jobs themselves, they must be sold in a bundle, or what is the idea behind?
I believe the startup bubble is starting to slowly drain, and we'll see more and more of this.

That's a fair guess. It was more a "maybe some of them want time off without getting above average interview offer spam". Overall I think it's a good thing too.

With a collaborative spreadsheet like this, my assumption is usually that it was set up by the first person in it.

#19Most of these people are listed as still working at SoundCloud - what is the "explain it like I'm five" about this document? Did all of the employees just get laid off and I missed that news?

Unfortunate that your perception is that this is a desperation play. I think the intent is the exact opposite of that.
The startup souffle might be deflating for sure, but I think the intent here is to say:
"We just had to layoff 40% of our staff yesterday. Through no fault of their own, our folks are now jobless. Can the community help?"
