“ won’t get fooled again” should be the recruiters motto

According to some recent research at Columbia Business School
https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/newsroom/newsn/1879/mens-honest-overconfidence-may-lead-to-male-domination-in-the-csuite
men typically over over estimate their achievements and abilities by 30%. They are not consciously exaggerating but genuinely believe they are considerably more talented than they are. All to often recruiters mistake this confidence for ability.The same research identifies that women underestimate their talent by as much as 15%. This is given as one reason why women are underrepresented in senior post.
We will never have true equality until an over confident, over ambitious woman can go as far as an over confident, over ambitious man.
