[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year I’m on the hiring team as the senior/director person in our org’s entry level (consulting, political, policy type shop)…

and one thing I’ve noticed is the boys we are receiving from t20s are not good (on paper or even the few we’ve given interviews to just to get some boys in the hiring pipeline.) the boy interviews have been disasters so far

Granted we don’t get the top boys who go to more prestigious firms, or the stem boys, but the median liberal arts 
/social science boys we see in our applicant pool vs the girls is night and day.

The girls even make pro-sports small talk with me better than the boys!

Btw these are all private college t20:t30 class of 2024 or 2025 grads

What is a "median guy" or "median boy"? English is my 2nd language and I don't understand this term. Can you clarify? Is it a sports thing or academic term?[/quote]

It’s just thinking statistically about the bell curve of boys, ignoring the outliers on either ends of the curve and concentrating on the vast majority who are in the middle. [/quote]

OP isn’t really using the term correctly.  What they mean is that most of the boys they select to interview aren’t turning out well…not that if they interview 11 kids that interviews 1-5 go well, but things go downhill with the 6th best candidate.[/quote]

The boy applicants on paper are markedly worse and aren’t even getting to the interview stage for the most part

To be fair our worst interviewee was a girl who should’ve really done better - top mpp, t20 ug, solid internships [/quote]

Why are the boys worse on paper?[/quote]
