Abstract (EN): Purpose - Numerous studies have shown that minority workers are disadvantaged in the labour market due to stereotypes and discrimination. However, published research on resume screening has overlooked the effects of multiple social categorisations pertaining to candidates' gender, education and origin. This study addresses this gap and examines whether the gender, the level of education and the national origin cues mentioned in the resume affect the perceived employability of candidates. Design/methodology/approach - This study employs an experimental between-subjects factorial design in that 12 resumes varying in gender, education and national origin were rated by 373 Portuguese working adults. Findings - The results documented a gender premium as women were favoured in interpersonal and job skills but not in job suitability, and an education premium, since higher educated candidates were preferred despite their gender and origin. No meaningful interactions for gender 3 education 3 national origin were observed, which suggests that ingroup favouritism and outgroup discrimination in resume screening can be averted. Originality/value - The findings endorse a multidimensional view of perceived employability by investigating candidates' skills and job suitability from the viewpoint of the decision-makers, which extends our understanding of resume-screening discrimination. This is critical to prevent hiring discrimination at an earlier career stage, which can increase youth employment and enhance the integration in the labour market of local minorities such as women, inexperienced workers and second-generation immigrants.
