This post is quite informative, but at points seems written in a needlessly harsh tone.
E.g. “If Givewell was serious about welcoming outsiders’ input into what they could do better, they’d work with experts to improve their hiring process. But they’re not a serious organisation, so I suspect they’ll ignore this.”
I read this part as venting some anger after being rejected (in a frustrating way!), which is understandable. But it makes it harder for me to place the post more broadly, as I worry that parts may be similarly exaggerated or that the focus on negative parts may omit other parts that would be needed for a representative picture of the application process.
Still, I found this informative and upvoted. I wanted to mention it as it may explain the voting pattern.

Thanks for explaining! (NB. I didn’t write the original post, but I’m interested in hiring processes and in keeping the forum civil.)
