Analyze relationship between referrals and application outcomes

Goal

Analyze whether applications associated with referrals have different outcomes compared with applications without referrals.

Compare

Referral vs non-referral applications across:

• Processing rate
• Interview rate
• Rejection rate
• Time to first response
• Time to interview
• Final outcome

Additional dimensions

Where enough data exists, analyze:

• Referral type
• Referral source
• Company
• Role
• Seniority
• Application fit score

Requirements

Avoid claiming that referrals cause better outcomes.

Use language such as:

• "Applications with referrals had a higher interview rate."
• "There is an observed association between referrals and interview progression."

Acceptance Criteria

• Referral-linked applications are identifiable.
• Metrics can be compared against non-referral applications.
• Sample size is displayed or considered.
• Results are statistically/contextually responsible.
• Tests cover aggregation.
