depressing, but every company should be subject to this kind of leftism penetration testing
Academics regularly do this in order to prove discrimination against their mascot groups. They send in one set of resumes as Abdul Hakim Shaniqu'a Jamalistani, or some other bizarre, stereotypical Black American name, and another name using middle-class 'white' names like Alexander and Charlotte.
When Mr. Jamilistani gets rejected more often than Alexander, they conclude that this must be racial bias. Quite apart from whether one should trust these agenda-driven academics to begin with, there is one confounding variable there, namely class. I am rather confident that redneck white names would be similarly poorly regarded.
The largest study ever done of blind recruitment found that there was a massive bias in favor of women and minorities (study was done in australia) and it was immediately cancelled because seeing a female name gets people promoted and hired faster than a resume with the name removed
Pretty sure the blind resumes study in Australia proved that when identifying characteristics were off the table, hiring became way less 'diverse' because the 'diverse' candidatea just weren't as good.
They needed a study for this?
There was a similar study with the U.S. military that when promotion candidates are anonymized to obscure race and gender, more white men are selected due to them being stronger candidates.
Some wokies started their own IT conference because existing ones were filled with male toxicity and what not.. took pride in having a double-blind review process that would remove all bias and discrimination... quickly abandoned that though when they noticed they were exclusively accepting white males..
exactly
It was the same in France. https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2011/04/04/le-cv-anonyme-penalise-les-personnes-issues-de-l-immigration_1503004_3224.html
You can run this into Deepl to get a proper English version. In short, anonymous CV increases discrimination against ethnic minorities, but decreases gender discrimination (where gender discrimination is understood as favoring the same sex as that of the recruiter, ie, men for male recruiters, and women for female recruiters).
When you look at the "passed" account, there are numerous spelling issues, the account listed they may not be in the US legally (a requirement for any hiring by a US company), the answers to the questions were short and poorly worded and Pride and Diversity as the job title. The guy did a very good job on showing a hiree looking for a job based on their perceived skin color not their ability.
Can confirm. Cajun people love calling things "T'<xxx>" as shorthand for petit or little. Mostly pets/objects, but some people cross that border and name their children like that directly instead of nicknaming. The equivilant of putting "Lil Wayne" on a black kids birth certificate.
And I can promise you with anecdotal certainty not a single one ever gets above bottom totem pole in a trade for a career, mostly they are generic hoodrats hanging around trailer parks. Including the ones in my own family.
I thought about it, re-apply to every company that passed me over with a slightly edited resume for Duquan White or something.
I'm old and would be at risk IF I lost my current job, that being written go all out man. Change your name to an obvious black or hispanic name. When it comes to race refuse to answer. Do interviews without a camera and fake the accent dude, work on it. When you get hired (preferably remote) go to work and see what happens. If you can talk to a lawyer in advance for lawsuit for discrimination who'd take it for a portion of the pool in advance, own them.
Just pull a Robert Francis O'Rourke and claim you have an ethnic nickname you go by.
You can also use voice changing software during calls. If you really want to F with them, claim you are a furry and use an furry avatar to talk and state you aren't comfortable showing anything but your fur self and you have social anxiety. You will be making HR masturbate and come half way reading this. If all whites did this, Silicon Valley would be 100% bros in 10 years.
Brave Browser (and its search engine) are great.
It feels like pre-retard Google.
