Thanks for this; it’s interesting to think about why gut intuitions didn’t carry over into the EA hiring process.
In EA I felt like everyone knows everyone and a fired hire could cause significant reputational damage with a one-sided narrative.
Wouldn’t this be ameliorated by providing a reference where you clearly state your views about the hire? I think most hiring managers understand that not every role is a fit for every person.
I wasn’t hiring someone to have similar skills to me, instead hiring someone to have the skills I don’t have.
Huh, what were the skills you were trying to hire for? Could an advisor or board member with that skillset have been looped into the hiring process?

I think “three” should be “threw”
