I will have to repeat myself, because I already answered this above. The fact that paid ads for jobs exist is clear indication that „free job boards“ channel doesn’t perform well enough, so employers are ready to pay extra. Paid job ads market has not gone in first few months, it is sustainable, i.e. people continue to pay because they have satisfactory conversion. It’s already proven by market that pull+push performs better, otherwise push wouldn’t exist. If push has gender-based targeting, then it creates an advantage for a specific gender - and that’s it. I did suggest plausible mechanics of why push works, but we don’t really need to find concrete examples, neither it is possible: you cannot present things that didn’t happen. If someone didn’t see an opportunity because ads were not shown, this person is not aware of it and cannot complain.
- rpdillon 1y agoI understand what you're saying, and appreciate your patience. I think it boils down to the fact that I just don't see this as a problem. Some people see ads that others don't. Not all opportunities are spread equally. There's a lot of unfairness just built-in by the roll of the dice. Banning demographic targeting of Facebook job ads isn't going to be a significant contributor here, in my estimation.
