The discrimination in Europe works slightly differently than in the US, as having a native sounding name is just as, or even more, important than having a "right" skin color.
So to be certain you'll avoid discrimination, you'd need to omit both the photo and the name from the CV, and that's not common at all.
- superhumanuser 3y agoShould we also hide the names of the universities we went to and the names of former employers we worked at?
- dataflow 3y agoConfused, what are you implying?
- superhumanuser 3y agoThere's bias towards certain big name institutions. Perhaps we should prevent discrimination on this basis by omitting those references.
- lazide 3y agoAlso, because those big name institutions have bias towards certain types of students - and train them to think/act in certain ways. It often works, which is why they do it.

- Reubachi 3y agoSure! Why not? Especially if we all know that that is the main determining factor of the recruiter, and the recruiter is completely protected from any discrimination. You can simply lie, regardless. If the employer won't digitally sign their denial of my resume,or even acknowledge the reason for my denial, I'm not digitally signing mine; which means it's a theatre of discrimination disguised as "filtering" from BOTH sides. I'm surprised so many prolific firms beyond FAANG still treat hiring like the big accounting firms of yore did/do.
- pwb25 3y agohow is that discrimination other than signaling you know the language, have a job permit and so on.
- LoganDark 3y agoBecause then employers will treat the absence of that signal as a potential concern?
- j7ake 3y agoBecause you’re assuming just from the name or photo thay someone knows the language and have job permit. This means children from immigrant families growing up in Europe would be discriminated against simply because of how they look and what their last name is. That’s classic discrimination.
