Rates Analysis Method

This is a simple comparison of two groups' selection rates (i.e., a comparison of males’ hiring rate to females’ hiring rate).  A statistically significant result is triggered when the difference between the selection rate of the focal group (i.e., females) compared to the selection rate of the reference group (i.e., males) is considered extreme enough that it is unlikely to happen simply ”by chance.”

Rates Analysis (Manual) - Manually enter data to compare those who completed a process (i.e., hires) to those who began the process (i.e., applicants).  Complete the following steps to run manual rates analysis:

1. Enter the starting numbers for each gender group and race group that started the process.  Depending on transaction type, this would be those who applied for a job, were available for promotion, or were available for termination.  The Total Gender and Total Race entries must be equal.
2. Enter the numbers for each gender group and race group who successfully completed the process.  Depending on transaction type, this would be those who were hired for a job, those promoted, or those retained.
3. Enter Analysis Type to Appear on Report (i.e., Applicants vs. Hires).

Rates Analysis (Query) - Use data that has already been imported and/or entered into myAAP to compare those who completed a process (i.e., hires) to those who began the process (i.e., applicants).  Complete the following steps to run query rates analysis:

1. Click the Set Starting button.
2. Use the Starting Data dropdown to select the data that applies to the desired analysis.  Depending on transaction type, this would be Applicants, Applicants for Promotion, Available for Termination, Available for Promotion, or Previous Headcounts.
3. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons if you wish to re-arrange the order of the job groups.
4. Enter the minimum number of transactions required for the report in the Generate report for groups with X transactions or more.  This number is defaulted to 0 and the report will show all job groups if not changed.
5. Use the Additional Criteria options if you wish to further narrow the results (this option is not commonly used).
6. Click Save.
7. Click the Set Completing button.  Completing Data options in this box will automatically populate based on the option selected in the Set Starting section.  You may make changes, or continue as is.
8. Click Save.
