Resumes with a female name were 41% more likely to receive a callback than resumes with a male name for software engineering jobs

Oof, so tempted to reply that with EOF quality post, but I'm affraid that would cause this thread to get it moved to EOF...

So... I'm not a programmer, so I'm not in any position to bring the sandwiches. But feel free to ask for a weenie.

So take away give Women name to get job and know nothing about what you have to do. Got it.😆

The big takeaway from this is that employers seem to just be reading names instead of entire resumes. The results of this should be interesting to watch. I can see the first time somebody hires a woman with a gender studies degree with zero programming experience because as far as they got was the name.

Interviewer: So your name suggests that you are a woman.

Interviewee: Yes, that is correct.

Interviewer: But I can see your dick.

Interviewee: Don't be a bigot!!

Or they are reading resumes and accepting based on skill and stopped rejecting based on name.
Equally, no one would be called a bigot for asking for see someone’s gentiles. They would be called a creep and be reported for sexual harassment. No one should be reduced down to their junk and no one should be questioned about it.

True but if junk is missing should you be more qualified? Or even with out. Should be bassed on brain not neither region unless hirer wants what is below or filling underprivileged.

I think it goes deeper than just a gender name on a resume. Thats just 1 barrier men have to go through, then you have race, and the years worked at previous jobs. This can allude the recruiter with personal standards that goes against any form of employment diversity on whether your even worth their time to keep despite the experience you have.

I wonder what are the feminists going to say about this.

Imagine working your ass off and then getting turned down because you don't have a vagigia.

looks like they are going to justify present discrimination with past discrimination.

I think you as actually approaching the point of my post, which is that maybe employers are hiring based on qualifications and no longer just stopping at the name. I think the rise in women in the tech field isn’t something suspicious but probably progress

 

[Randqalan]

So fyi 55 Year male white man is f up no call back can not get job. Go figure how 30 Year &+ always gets the shit jobs

Apparently I'm the only person that actually read the thing.

One of the biggest hurdles for any job application to go anywhere is to get noticed. Anything that sticks out is more likely to get attention over the other sea of resumes, and dramatically increases chances of a reply unless there's a deal breaker in there. The resumes the experiment drafted were entirely identical except for the name, email, and cover letter.

Chances are a good amount of bias came from just the novelty of a woman's name sticking out like a sore thumb from swathes of male applicants. Women in IT are still rare after all, thus catching the eye just because it's less expected to see one.
If there is an algorithm that sorts things before a human ever sees any application that bias may not be there, helping explain why longer established companies didn't have that bias as much, or even opposite bias.

In the Metaverse I would not have allowed this to happen. Everyone is treated equal here.

I don't like it but I live in reality. Ok my illusion of reality. I can confirm that this crap even happens at low level like Dollar general a Assistant manager that can't do less then cashier getting 29% more getting overtime not doing any truck all because she is a 5.2 inch and girl and same sex lover. Almost any employee could and do more than her but get less do more and are not allowed above 35 hours a week. Go ss go woman right. F that were is equal rights anymore. Gone that's were.

I hope to see more and more men crying for being discriminated, as women have been exploited by men since 4000 bc (maybe it is even more, much more). So we own them like 6000 years of privileges to make things even.

That said, I'll not even bother in reading the paper, as man still gets much more money in most (if not all) nations on this fucking world. Loose examples of the opposite will appear, the big picture still remains the same sadly.

That's not how it works, you can't just punish people for something that happened 6000 years ago. Also, what happened to gender equality?
