I think the summary of this post should be updated to say something like âCEA is more competitive but in the same ballpark as industryâ
I agree we hire a smaller percent of total applicants, but we hire a substantially greater percent of applicants who get to the people ops interview stage.
I think the latter number is probably the more interesting one because the former is affected a bunch by e.g. if your job posting gets put onto a random job board which gives you a ton of low-quality applicants.
But in any case: in some ways CEA is more selective, and in other ways we are less; I think the methodology we used isnât precise enough to make a stronger statement than âwe are about the sameâ.
Fixed, thanks!
