J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez GiveWell en mai 2026
Entretien
Everything went very quickly. First I did a shorter timed test checking my understanding of a research article, then I had two weeks to complete a more complicated test requiring analysis of my own. The second test was compensated. I was rejected a week after submitting the second test.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Would you recommend this intervention in another context? Why/why not?
Was given two work tasks: a 45 min and then a 5 hour one. Very open ended tasks with no real guidance on what's in the evaluation criteria. Despite reading their work and blogposts, I did not get past the second work task. Overall it felt like the only ppl who would get in are the 'insiders' who know the lingo, the style of working, and the ideologies they subscribe to.

The GiveWell interview included a short, timed written research exercise designed to evaluate my ability to interpret statistical results, reason carefully and clearly under time constraints, assess evidence quality, and apply empirical findings to real-world policy and funding decisions.
