Note that at least for Rethink Priorities, a human[1] reads through all applications; nobody is rejected just because of their resume.
I’m a bit confused about the phrasing here because it seems to imply that “Alice’s application is read by a human” and “if Alice is rejected it’s not just because of her resume” are equivalent, but many resume screen processes (including eg Wave’s) involve humans reading all resumes and then rejecting people (just) because of them.
I mean the entire initial application (including the screening questions) is read, not just the resume, and the resume plays a relatively small part of this decision, as (we currently believe) resumes have low predictive validity for our roles.
