Personally, I still think it would be very useful to find more talented people and for more people to consider applying to these roles (Ben)
It needs to be high enough to offset the burnt value from people’s investments in those application processes. (Denise)
In theory, there’s no real conflict between these two statements. Doubling the number of people who would consider applying for a post shouldn’t impose a major cost on those potential applicants. At the same time, we could take steps to make it clearer to potential applicants what exactly the hiring criteria is, so we’re not wasting people’s time.
In fact, I think it would probably be ideal if we increased the number of people who consider applying for each EA job but decreased the number actually applying!
