Hiring Algorithms and
The Gender Gap

Governments have introduced regulations that require organizations to disclose when using hiring algorithms. We test the impact of such disclosure on the gender gap in applicant pools for male-dominated jobs. Across two longitudinal field experiments, with over 3500 participants, we found that men show higher persistence and opportunism when encountering hiring algorithms, thereby widening the gender gap. A phenomenon we term the “overflowing” pipeline problem.
