Good question, just from talking to staff of orgs in the EA community who’ve actually been involved in hiring. It might have been mentioned in a talk by 80k at EA Global as well. Can someone confirm?
Again, from talking to people at EA orgs my impression is that it’s also pretty common that someone gets hired because they turn out to be a good fit, but the counterfactual is that no-one would’ve been hired at all. E.g. when volunteers get hired full-time without there being an official job posting.
