Employers facing time constraints coarsely lump all foreign-educated or foreign-named applicants into a single low-productivity category, neutralizing the statistical signaling power of individual resume achievements.
Recruiters consistently lumped foreign-named applicants into a single lower-evaluated group based on assumed language barriers. Even when resumes explicitly listed multi-language fluency (English, French, mother tongue), active extracurricular involvement, or high-prestige backgrounds, callback rates remained suppressed at 5.9% to 11.3% compared to 15.7% for native English-named resumes.
