% of roles filled through applications: Can’t speak for all orgs, but at GiveWell a substantial majority of roles are filled through applications. We’ve previously made a small number of opportunistic hires, but not recently.
reasons hires didn’t work out: By policy, my org just doesn’t share detailed commentary on this sort of thing in any venue, even in most internal settings. But, I think the big-picture reasons for most staff departures at my org are fundamentally quite normal (growth opportunities, personal/family life demands, performance issues, etc.). When relevant, we use performance data to reassess our calibration on past hiring rounds and make changes for future rounds.
