A good question—we try and make our application effectively ‘EA-neutral’ but in practice I expect that our recruitment process is a little skewed in favour of people from an EA background. My guess is that’s down to a greater familiarity with the types of questions or tasks we ask for (e.g. making a weighted factor model), and it being easier to pick up on key things we care about—like a commitment to cost-effectiveness—when people communicate this in an EA way.
Ultimately, we care about finding people who have the base traits we care about—we’re equally open to a 0% or 100% culturally EA cohort if we feel like that’s the best group of people who applied.
