Yeah... I guess I feel like if we're going to try to re-promote the ED search on social media, an updated blog post might be useful. I think a Jobvite link without context (especially a retweet of a staff person -- like if we were retweeting Jan-Bart as head of the search committee it might be different) seems rather off-tone. But maybe it's just me. :)
Not to get too deeply into this specific example (I see your point about Jan-Bart), but in general I think RTs are valuable in filing gaps where we at WMF don't have the capacity to put out a polished, official communication/announcement. So for example in this case the extension of the ED search was announced in form of a updated timeline on Meta last month, but it's likely going to take a bit until e.g. a new blog post goes out about this. So some kind of low level social media signal that the position is still open can have value.
