Study: More Men Hired in Gender-Blind Job Application Process

TheAwkwardGuy2000 · 2017-07-01T07:53:32+00:00

This is fucking retarded.

Hiscox warned governments and companies to consider the real possibility that gender-blind hiring processes may actually lessen equality in the workplace. “We should hit pause and be very cautious about introducing this as a way of improving diversity, as it can have the opposite effect,” Professor Hiscox claimed.

Um, no. It did not lesson equality. It increased equality in the workplace.

Being chosen for your merit and not your fucking gender is what equality is.

This same study caused all the users of the gender blind application process to end it's use immediately as they realized the implications of only going off of merit and skill level. Obviously it's racist to hire the best regardless of race, sex, creed, etc... and so it's totally NOT racist to then prevent hiring of someone of a certain race, sex, creed, etc.... because they don't fit the mandated diversity requirement. I mean obviously...

It's almost as if most women don't try hard enough but still expect to get what those who are working harder have.

I posted about this before this post.

Honestly the best non-discriminatory hiring practices are at my current job. There are two panels, the first conduct live or over the phone interviews. All candidates are asked the same exact questions. The answers are handed over to a second panel that won't see names, addresses, race, etc. Those that pick the candidate do so based off the qualifications.

We have hired 9 people this way, 7 were men. On one of the female hires she was our second choice.

Wow it's almost like when entitled bitch tells entitled bitch 2.0 that she can coast through life on her vagina, she believes it and doesn't try as hard, expecting to be able to coast.

deadfallpro · 2017-07-01T15:00:51+00:00

It's a real bitch, when you have to hire people for their acquired skills and not based solely on what the pee from.

I'm gonna call bullshit. My sandwich always tastes better when made by my wife. She says it because it's made with love but I think she makes sure miracle whip is all the way to the corners.

We have agreed to disagree on the exact reasons.

Here's a link to a website that is not breitbart if anyone wants it.

Feminists want equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity.

"Professor Hiscox said he discussed the trial with the ABS and did not consider it a rigorous or randomised control trial"

Zerocyde · 2017-07-01T13:16:02+00:00

Telepathic sexism. Disgusting.

samsc2 · 2017-07-03T14:29:15+00:00

There's an awful lot of reports for this being on breitbart and i'm just confused why that matters at all. It's still a news story regardless of where it's hosted and at least it isn't the clinton news network where everything is fake or one of the numerous other crap news orgs.

Robbie1985 · 2017-07-01T19:23:08+00:00

I don't think this is quite the win people think it is. Cordelia Fine talks at length in her book about how women have a natural tendency to talk themselves down in applications, where men generally exaggerate their achievements. A more valid test would be to remove the gender, but then have a mix of genders write each others applications as if it were their own. Then see if a woman's application written by a man did any better than if she wrote it herself?

Men are superior workers. Who knew?

Breitbart

People still take them serious?

2017-07-01T12:50:24+00:00

What a nonsense. The factor is the field of work in which you put the application. When you look for the best icehockey trainers you will presumably get more men because there are more men with certain qualifications in that field.

2017-07-01T17:06:18+00:00

The entire concept of making a "Gender-Blind" application process is flawed. How is someone supposed to hire the best and most qualified candidate without conducting an interview? I am pretty confident I can tell the gender of a person in an interview....

2017-07-03T14:19:57+00:00

Pussy pass completely obliterated.

American_potatoe · 2017-07-05T12:14:42+00:00

I give zero fucks about diversity and inclusion. This study proves that merit trumps everything else. Why on earth would you want to hire someone LESS qualified for a senior position in a large company? I actually work at a large bank and the leaders are the leaders because they are good leaders. Simple as that.

It's Breitbart. LOL

apatheticyeti0117 · 2017-07-03T20:34:37+00:00

Breitbart is not a reputable news source.

BrightandPsyched · 2017-07-01T13:25:25+00:00

We're using Breitbart as sources now?

LackingTact19 · 2017-07-01T06:47:43+00:00

Breitbart, sigh

drfarren · 2017-07-01T13:17:14+00:00

Sorry, can't up vote anything from that website. Hit me up when a reputable news group reports on it.

chambertlo · 2017-07-01T04:25:39+00:00

This proves what everyone but feminists already knew to be true; MEN ARE BETTER.

charlsey2309 · 2017-07-01T17:43:37+00:00

Skeptical of anything made by Breitbart.

incorporatedprojects · 2017-07-01T19:07:17+00:00

Breitbart?

2017-07-01T15:41:58+00:00

Fuck breitbart. Downvote.

Electricpants · 2017-07-01T12:25:00+00:00

Breitbart? Really?

farkenell · 2017-07-01T13:31:17+00:00

Just saying it could be related to historical employment opportunities for women not giving them the experience that push them over other candidates. Or that they are less likely to pursue those opportunities for other reasons, family etc.
