Compare giving what we can's page which has good branding and simple language. IMO 80,000 hours page has too much text and too much going on front page. Bring both websites up on your phone and judge for yourself.

We're a small, but growing, organisation. To reach our impact potential, we need to hire world-class people. These first few hires are absolutely crucial and I expect they could be the most important that the organisation will make as they will determine our trajectory.
If you could take ~5 mins to help, I would be enormously appreciative:

Maybe that's outweighed by the possibility of TFG reaching a top candidate (but I'm motivated to believe that so don't really trust it). Plus, it feels like a tragedy of the commons type scenario. So I've decided to post it as a short form quick take instead.

Out of interest:
How much did this impact assessment cost to commission? Are you open to others reaching out to commission similar assessments?
(Feel free to DM your responses if you prefer, though I expect others might benefit from this info too)
