These slack channels have been formed from groups of industry professionals and are often invite only. Once inside, the members connect with each other and even put some job-seekers in touch with hiring managers, giving them a fast-track into the job. Members are using the channels to network, ask industry-related questions and look for new roles. 

Finding the right slack channels can also be difficult since they are often not openly advertised but spread through word-of-mouth. 

“It does seem to be kind of an insider club,” Jimmy Daly told the Journal. He co-founded Superpath, a Slack group for content marketers. “For the most part, people let you in on the secret as they discover it.”
