EA needs consultancies

Abstract

EA organizations like Open Phil and CEA could do a lot more if we had access to more analysis and more talent, but for several reasons we can’t bring on enough new staff to meet these needs ourselves, e.g. because our needs change over time, so we can’t make a commitment that there’s much future work of a particular sort to be done within our organizations. This also contributes to there being far more talented EAs who want to do EA-motivated work than there are open roles at EA organizations.
