On a side note, this also shows how ineffective resumes are at connecting employees and employers. If you repeated the same experiment with github accounts, perhaps less bias would show up.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoI wish I believed that geeks were above generalizing based on names, but I have no doubt if your github user name was "Tyrone" or "RapDaddy", you could run into similar issues. I do think you would have less discrimination that way, though. I bet you could accomplish similar things if resumes focused less on names and more on accomplishments.
