Anecdotally, I have received 2 rejection emails from EA-aligned organisations which incorporate your first idea for action. Personally, tailored feedback would have been super helpful, but I do appreciate that people are time-constrained.
That is great news (given the rejection). Was there anything in the templates you found particularly helpful? And were they relevant to your search?/Could have they been more relevant?
Out of the rejections I’ve seen, a single one linked to an org’s own ‘career page’ and one suggested signing up for the org’s mailing list (helpful, but possibly a kick in the gut if you’ve just been rejected? And, if you’re a strong candidate, presumably you’ve already checked it out?).
In terms of EA and EA-aligned orgs, I have not seen: (1) direction to specific roles with a paucity of candidates, (2) ‘potential good fit’ suggestions, (3) direct links to other EA/EA-aligned orgs with similar openings (or direct links to orgs outside of the one applied to at all).
