Do Recruiters Penalize Men Who Prefer Low Hours?

I find that recruiters prefer full-time over part-time workers, and that part-time penalties are more pronounced for men than for women. Differences in job or workplace characteristics cannot explain these results. Instead, the preponderance of evidence points to bias due to gender stereotypes.

Super interesting piece of research which underscores the deep, potentially intrinsic, biases we have on the role we expect men to perform. The conclusions from this research shouldn’t surprise us, and should motivate us to work for greater gender equality. Academic paper but readable enough. NB: presumably AI screening would remove this bias, given that human recruiters seem unable to do so? H/T to brainfooder Dorothy Dalton for the share
