🤖 As firms increasingly automate hiring, our study suggests that removing human interaction from candidate screening might hurt workers by robbing them of valuable information about prospective employers.

🚨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. 🚨

🎓 Our evidence is consistent with workers learning about firms, with the "easy interview penalty" being larger in less well-reputed establishments.

📚 Key finding: Difficult interviews signal colleague ability whereas easy interviews convey a nonselective process. Those who accept offers after easy interviews are less satisfied with their jobs and exit the firm faster.

Job interviews are not just a mechanism for employers to evaluate applicants.
Research by @elliottash.bsky.social et al finds candidates use them to screen firms, rejecting offers if the interview was too easy:

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!
