“…This study is positioned within a feminist methodological framework (Kiyimba et al., 2019) aligned with our epistemological stance (positioning, identities, and perspectives) and consistent with the broader aims and values of Athena SWAN and SAGE. Specifically, we apply a transformative feminist perspective (post‐modern feminism) (Van den Brink et al., 2010; Verloo & Lombardo, 2007) with an intersectional lens (Hancock, 2011; Verloo & Lombardo, 2007), drawing attention and advocating for social change by challenging the norms which privilege some populations more than others, in particular white heterosexual men.…”

“…Applicants comprised individuals who were shortlisted for a targeted academic position (any level or employment type) advertised from 1 January 2021 to 30 April 2022 at the University of Newcastle. Eligible applicants were invited using an external distributor model with the University Talent Acquisition within the University's Human Resource Services unit acting as the conduit; i.e., gatekeeper providing access to identified participants (Kiyimba et al., 2019). Informed consent was received from all participants prior to scheduling interviews (written consent) and again at the start of the interview (verbal consent).…”

This qualitative study explored a targeted recruitment initiative that was designed to attract and recruit female academic staff in STEM disciplines at an Australian University. Semi‐structured, one‐on‐one interviews were conducted with female and male key informants: 16 Panel Members and six Applicants. Codebook Thematic Analysis was applied using a feminist methodological lens. Results showed several themes (categorised as barriers and facilitators) impacting the implementation and success of targeted recruitment. The majority of themes were associated with Panel Members, underpinning the importance of panels' support for targeted recruitment. Nearly all barriers were gender‐related, disadvantaging female applicants and emphasising a need to address gender inequity broadly. Key recommendations for future improvement were strategies to improve the support of panels (e.g., gender bias training, improved communication of responsibilities in targeted recruitment and ensuring an equity and diversity ‘champion’) and efforts to strengthen the positive diversity reputation of the University.
