Effet du sexe, de l'apparence physique et de l'internalité/externalité des candidats sur les décisions de recruteurs féminins et masculins pour des postes de managers et de conseillers

Abstract

This research deals with the effects of gender, physical appearance, and internality/ externality in recruitment. Professional recruiters evaluated the files of applicants for the positions of bank consultant and manager. Internality does seem to be a discriminating characteristic. Furthermore, although a woman has as much chance as a man of being recruited for a junior position, she sees her chances decrease for a managerial position. Finally, the impact of beauty varies depending on the hierarchical level: for a junior position, the attractive candidate is preferred; for a senior position, beauty is an advantage for men but a disadvantage for women.
