🚨Next time you hire, don’t take it easy! In a new working paper, @elliottash.bsky.social, Jason Sockin, and I show the difficulty of the interview signals to workers whether the job is a good fit. 🚨 Paper link: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Thrilled that our “Interviews” paper was accepted to UChicago’s AI in Social Science Conference on Sep 25-26 🎉 We show that interview difficulty signals match quality, including future colleagues. Easy interviews lead to more rejections and faster turnover!

Yesterday at NBER SI Jason Sockin presented our work with Elliott Ash and me showing how your interview process shapes how job seekers form perceptions of you as an employer. These impressions can impact everything from offer acceptance to employee retention!

Honored to have my research highlighted by the great Steven Pinker! When I started this work, I had no idea where it would lead. This is such a cool moment—I’ll cherish it for a very very long time.

📣 New paper drop! Why do some employees take up training and others don’t, even when the programs are the same? Surprisingly, the answer isn’t HR policy—it’s middle managers. 🧵
