I'm a recruiter at GiveWell. Prior to GiveWell, I taught high school precalculus in Memphis, TN. I've been lurking in EA circles since 2015, when I stumbled on Scott Alexander's blog, Slate Star Codex!

Unless this is clearly stated, you should absolutely never assume that my comments represent GiveWell's official opinions.

How others can help me

I'm potentially interested in pursuing graduate work in international development. I'd love to chat with anyone who has experience with such grad programs.

How I can help others

You can reach out to me anytime with questions about working at GiveWell. We do work very hard to ensure that our hiring process/culture/compensation is very transparent, but we can't cover everything. So, if you've reviewed all our public materials and still have questions, DM me here or on LinkedIn.

Note: Sharing your résumé with me won't provide you with an application advantage. All of our hiring processes are based on blind-graded work trials, and we are very serious about not un-blinding our graders.

Hi!

I'm Calum Richards from the Washington D.C. area. I've been an EA lurker since 2015, and I was originally introduced to the community through Scott Alexander's blog, Slate Star Codex (now Astral Codex Ten on Substack).

I taught high school math for a few years after college, and I'm now recruiting at GiveWell!

I'm happy to connect with anyone — best way to reach me is through DMs here, and you can also find me on LinkedIn.
