"We want to get people who would not be doing effective altruist stuff otherwise", which obviously creates obnoxious incentives for making threats of stopping one's altruism unless one is hired.

Altruists wouldn't make such threats. We shouldn't negotiate with terrorists; we definitely shouldn't hire them.

:) Awesome interpretation Larks. Still does not solve the issue of wannabe paid effective altruists out there, and leads them towards doing something else entirely. I"ve edited the original to look a little less pointy
