Note that GiveWell stated longer-term plans to “more than double” the size of their research team by early 2022. I assume that one of their bottlenecks is that they recently chose a new Managing Director who will add more research management capacity, but who doesn’t start until July 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if hiring scales up after that (though I don’t know for sure that it will).
