Summary:

The New South Wales Government in Australia faced a critical challenge: a significant gender gap in reapplications for senior leadership positions. Despite a 50% target for female representation, data revealed that women were less likely to reapply after initial rejection due to self-doubt. In this case, Marie Reynolds, a fictional behavioral scientist, sets out to close the gender gap. She devises a randomized control trial that includes encouragement-oriented behavioral interventions, collaborates with colleagues, designs communications, and relies on data to monitor and guide her efforts. In the end, Marie's work is successful not just in closing the gender gap in reapplication rates for senior roles, but in improving the candidate experience for all New South Wales Government senior job applicants--men and women included.
