I read this story a few days ago, and cannot find the source now.
There is a man who did an experiment with job resumes. He decided to create a resume that should be worthy of a job interview for a particular job.
He used his regular, male name.
He then created the exact same resume, but used a different, female name.
Only difference was the name.
He sent out 100 male name resumes. He got 10 job interview offers.
He sent out 100 female name resumes. He got 87 job interview offers.
This demonstrates anti-male hiring bias.
It's no wonder why so many men are having a difficult time in the job market.
Now, multiply that with DEI and H1B types of issues.
If the name on the resume is "Laquifa Jackson," how many more interviews would the candidate get?
What if it was an IT position with "Sankrah Patel" on the resume?
Affirmative Action and similar policies have turned America into an anti-male, anti-White hiring process.
This issue needs to be addressed -- not ignored or censored.
I think I heard of this being done by someone a long time ago on the podcast No Agenda. It's been years though... Interestingly, I was researching this...
Came across this:
AI tools show biases in ranking job applicants’ names according to perceived race and gender

It's crazy. Husband has been discriminated against these past two years (IT) he's hoping he will be able to find work this year.
I would bet that there are many companies with IT departments that have maybe 50 employees, and 40 of them are Indian.
That would be a clear violation of discrimination laws, and could be subject for a lawsuit.
A lot of these companies could be set up for massive lawsuits.
He landed a contract for a very short time with a major consumer wholesaler. His entire team of 8 was Indians. I was shocked. Unfortunately that contract got cut short and from it sounded like, the Sr. Mgmt was pissed they hired more people to help fix the project. Gee, I wonder why.
I'd applaud for that!
