Fake CV test shows employer racism
Updated on 19 October 2009
People with African and Asian names face discrimination by employers when they apply for jobs, according to a new study.
Thousands of fake CVs were sent by researchers to companies across the country, using three different identities, to discover how jobseekers with different names were treated.
The three fake identities - Nazia Mahmood, Mariam Namagembe and Alison Taylor - were given similar experience and qualifications.
