That said, I will note that this question about the value of intensive hiring is distinct from the question of whether EA is talent constrained. It’s quite possible that we have a surfeit of talent and that orgs should rationally engage in intense hiring rounds.
I don’t think they’re distinct; if there is an abundance of talent already circulating around the movement (as I believe there is), then full open hiring rounds are harder to justify from a cost effectiveness perspective.
