I think people who completed ARP (like me) will do better in Rethink Priorities’s (RP’s), and maybe Wild Animal Initiative’s (WAI’s) selection processes than random applicants. However, I believe RP’s and WAI’s research is sufficiently different[1] for the very best candidates to differ. Candidates who completed ARP could skip the initial stages, but this would not decrease the overall assessment cost much considering they would be a small fraction of the initial applicants, and the usefulness of having everyone complete the initial stages for greater comparability of the performance of candidates.
In particular, significantly deeper. AIM’s research team only has 3 people, Filip, Morgan, and Vicky. WAI’s research is also academic, unlike AIM’s, and the majority of RP’s research.
Once an org has already committed to running an open round no matter the level of talent readily available, I agree, allowing some applicants to skip some part of the process doesn’t change the cost much.
