  • Measured by successful applications   |   p-val (?)

This experiment measured the effect of opening new listing (job applications) in a new tab, against opening them in the same window. The experiment A-B was inversed to match the pattern (in reality, the original already opened the tabs in a new window).

  • Measured by lead form submissions   |   p-val (?)

The idea of this experiment was taking advantage of mobile browser behavior. When a link is open in a new tab on mobile browsers, and users hit the back button, the tab closes and users get back exactly where they were before without any new result page load.

For each pattern, we measure three key data points derived from related tests:

REPEATABILITY - this is a measure of how often a given pattern has generated a positive or negative effect. The higher this number, the more likely the pattern will continue to repeat.

SHALLOW MEDIAN - this is a median effect measured with low intent actions such as initiating the first step of a lengthier process

DEEP MEDIAN - this is derived from the highest intent metrics that we have for a given test such as fully completed signups or sales.
