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.
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..
