54%
The share of male job seekers who were offered an interview when they included AI capital or business-related AI studies listed on their applications. That compares to just 28% of male applicants who didn’t list these AI skills, according to new research. Analysts also observed an interview bump for female applicants with AI-business skills, though the difference was less marked.
