Bad news, older tech workers: Job advert language works against you
The latest research takes the opposite approach by creating fake jobs ads derived from actual job ad text and documenting the demographics of those who respond.
The study does not examine actual employer behavior, despite its reliance on job-ad language from real employers. The fake job ads presented and evaluated were assembled with the help of a machine learning algorithm designed to generate phrases that are semantically similar to ageist stereotypes but aren't obvious.
"The same employers who behave that way actually used more stereotyped language. And here we see that that language discourages older workers from applying."
