If a value‑aligned candidate is as capable as a non‑aligned candidate, I don’t see why we wouldn’t want them in the running
Because they may have a greater (counterfactual) impact in a role where being value-aligned is more needed? In any case, I think it would still make sense for the organisation to make them an offer, and then be transparent about how they compare with the 2nd best candidate. This information could then be used by the value-aligned candidate to make a better choice about whether to accept the offer or not.
Hi Carlos. Great post.
