Hmm...
First study:
"Minorities may be particularly likely to experience disadvantage when they apply to ostensibly pro-diversity employers."
That doesn't quite fit the narrative. Also, the study examines the practice of "resume whitening" as something that some minority applicants (less than 50%, so a minority) do to combat their expectations of potential bias.
It does not say anything itself about whether such bias exists.
Second study:
"Male recruiters’ perceptions of applicants’ work experiences did not differ depending on applicant gender. However, female recruiters perceived male applicants’ resumes to re- port more work experiences than resumes of female applicants."
So female recruiters discriminate against females, male recruiters don't discriminate. Also doesn't fit the narrative.
Third link only got me an error message.
Anyway, I don't think any of these studies actually supports your assertion.
- developer92 6y agoThe first one might be because companies that make a big deal about being pro diversity have already identified a problem and are trying to combat it by making big deal (not necessarily by doing anything else), whereas normal companies don't need to advertise that because they already have a wide variety of employees.
