As for the star ratings, they reflect the personality evaluations made by the interviewer.
Leaving looks aside, they assess qualities such as consideration for others, sincerity, and interpersonal skills, and represent the evaluation with a number of stars:
★★★★★ Highly recommended
★★★★ Recommended
★★★ No issues
★★ For people who appreciate a tolerant personality
★ For experienced members
The number of stars is therefore unrelated to the woman’s class.
For example, even someone in the lowest class may receive five stars—“highly recommended”—if she responds quickly or receives positive feedback from men.
Conversely, even someone in the highest class may receive one star—“for experienced members.”
That said, a lower star rating means she is more difficult to recommend. So there are cases where someone initially placed in the highest class may be moved to a lower class after considering her personality.
I’ll leave it to the other staff to calculate the distribution of star ratings.
For example, in Tokyo, there were only three women with five stars. Since there are 2,324 women in Tokyo, that means five-star women account for about 0.13%.
We only recently published the guidelines for the star ratings, so I expect the number of women receiving more stars to increase from here on. For now, though, getting more stars could help you stand out.
