Are Female Interviewers delivering a better candidate experience? ?? Our data suggests the answer is YES.???♀? We crunched the numbers?on 175K+ interviews across 125 organizations to investigate. To measure candidate experience, we looked at the actual behaviors in the interview and created a composite score based on how consistently interviews start on time, set an agenda for the candidate, and give them opportunities to ask questions.?? TL;DR: Female interviewers consistently deliver a better candidate experience. ?? Here’s what we found: 1?? RECRUITER SCREENS: Compared to their male counterparts, female recruiters are more likely to: ?? Set a clear agenda: +10% (F: 69% vs. M: 63%) ?? Give candidates the opportunity to ask questions: +5% (F: 79% vs. M: 75%) ?? Start just a bit later: -1% (F: 89% vs. M: 90%) 2?? HIRING MANAGER SCREENS: The gap narrows, but it's still there! Compared to male hiring managers, female hiring managers are more likely to: ?? Set a clear agenda: +5% (F: 61% vs. M: 58%) ?? Give candidates the opportunity to ask questions: No difference (F: 83% vs. M: 83%) ?? Start on time: +1% (F: 95% vs. M: 94%) ? ?? In summary, female interviewers are more likely to deliver better candidate experiences than male interviewers.?So what’s driving this? ?? ? Could communication styles, training, or interview approaches be causing this disparity? ? Most importantly, how can we ensure every candidate has a great experience, no matter who’s interviewing? ? Should we consider training adjustments by gender? ? How can we make 'best practices' standard across interviews? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below! ??
