Abstract

Based on a large, representative, and original survey of French establishments that hired in 2015, we analyze the extent to which the recruitment process of candidates whose first and last names suggest Arab‐Muslim origin differs from that of workers from the majority group at each stage of the process. We identify many influential factors among which are characteristics of the people involved in the recruitment process, the recruitment criteria, the hiring channel, and the selection methods. We discuss and test the endogeneity of several of these factors, drawing on the wealth of information provided in the survey.
