Recruiters look at male profiles more frequently on LinkedIn, but women are the ones more likely to get hired, per a Gender Insights Report published by the company.

Recruiters are 13 percent less likely to view a woman's profile when it appears and 3 percent less likely to send her a message. But once they do apply, women are 16 percent more likely to be hired and 18 percent more likely to be hired in a senior role capacity, per the report.
