Determinants of Callbacks to Job Applications: An Audit Study
通过审计实验，研究了失业时长、年龄和临时工作对有经验的高学历女性申请行政岗位时收到雇主回电的影响，发现年龄50岁以上和有临时工作经历者回电率显著更低。
We summarize findings from an audit study investigating how unemployment duration, age, and holding a low-level “interim” job affect the likelihood that experienced college-educated females applying for administrative support jobs receive a callback from potential employers. The results show no relationship between callback rates and unemployment duration. In contrast, workers age 50 and older and workers with an “interim” job are significantly less likely to receive callbacks. We also summarize disparate findings in the growing literature of resume-based audit studies of career histories, and discuss avenues in which the literature could achieve results that are more comparable and externally valid.
