This was interesting:

For example, in our study, all of the women who took the public interview failed, while all of the women who took the private interview passed.

That is an amazing statistic! From 100% failure to 100% success!




It's important to bear in mind the small sample size: 4 women took the private interview, and 6 took the public.

Still a compelling result, but not quite as incredible as it sounds in the article. I'm not sure what the p-value would be.


Yes, I don't think a company can continue with whiteboard interviews anymore and consider themselves to be treating women fairly in the hiring process.
