Do you have a link to any of these "studies"? Without seeing their methodology, it's hard to know how trustworthy they are - names like Shoniqua and Precious probably would be overlooked in favour of Emily and Tarquin. Just like how CVs from Billy-Bob and Jaiden/Braiden/Kaiden and Shantelle would probably end up in the bin.

If they used trashy names for one and nice names for another, of course the results will be unbalanced.

Yeah, you and I have had this exact conversation before. I provided the links then, not doing it again when you have google.

Oh yeah, the links didn't mention the names they used did they. So they're useless.

That's not the fault of "white dudes" who want to get into the industry now, so why should they suffer for it? :shrug:

There have been loads of these studies...

https://www.raconteur.net/hr/diversi...nic-name-bias/

https://www.ibtimes.com/employment-d...r-time-2487220

The REC also issued guidance on similar studies to its members.

That's an interesting way to imprint your own biases onto a study you'd forgotten had even existed 30 seconds ago.

Besides, there wasn't really any difference between non-white names, the only difference was white/non-white.

You're nearly there - you're right that it isn't the fault of white dudes that are already on the scheme, but I think you miss the point of discrimination versus over representation.

Depends. Most 9-5 jobs don’t actually pay the lunch hour (or at least don’t legally have to) so a full time working week is actually only 35 hours, which comes out at around 16.5k salary

Assuming lunch hour isn’t paid, £18k works out as about £10/hour [/nitpick]

That's baiting...or maybe tired old baiting..

Thats what we need on tibb..a ban for baiting, and an extended ban for tired old baiting.

The place would be a better place for it.

In this tired old mans opinion.:wavey:

Marsh. 20-06-2021 09:28 PM

Oh, dear, someone's still bitter over their ban.

I don't think you know what baiting means if you think pointing out that it's a daily mail article is baiting.

You really need to understand what words mean before you use 'em.

Beso 20-06-2021 09:55 PM

I may not know what baiting means, but I know what tired old baiting means.
