I don’t know how to interpret that other than as men being more competent than women.
I do. Men have a higher variance than women and the employer only hires from the tail end.
(You can say that that still counts as men in a subgroup being more competent, of course, but it’s not what we normally mean by “men are more competent than women”.)

That would be plausible if hiring, say, professors, but this was for a lab manager job. Not very tail-y.
