From the referenced report: "We used foreign-sounding names and referred to the language of the origin country in the language skills section of the resume* so that minority applicants always described themselves as bilingual."
I would like to have seen a bit more detail on how the names were selected because we already know that there is significant discrimination against names that suggest a low level of education: names of footballers, soap stars, pop singers and so on.
It would also be interesting to know how the level of discrimination against a "foreign-sounding" name compares with a non-foreign name with bad associations.
* Presumably this report was written for a US publication?
