Video résumés portrayed: findings and challenges

Recent technological developments and the increased use of internet-based applications have resulted in the emergence of so-called video résumés. This chapter first presents the characteristics of video résumés as a selection instrument by comparing the instrument with other, related selection tools, like the job interview. The chapter proceeds with a review of existing research on video résumés and ends with an agenda for future research

Documenting the adverse impact of resume screening: degree of ethnic identification matters

We investigated adverse impact of resume screening taking into account the intersectionality of minority characteristics. A correspondence audit test showed hiring discrimination depended on the strength of applicants’ ethnic identification. The odds for rejection were 4-6 times higher for resumes with ethnic minority identifiers (Arab names; Arab affiliations) when compared to ethnic majority identifiers (Dutch names; Dutch affiliations). Sex moderated the ethnicity effect but the particular effect (ethnic prominence; double jeopardy against females or males) depended on the type and degree of ethnic identification, lending support for a within-category approach to study ethnic prejudice. The four-fifths rule resulted in similar findings. Theoretical implications regarding the intersectional effects of minority characteristics and practical implications regarding ways to avert adverse impact during resume-screening are discussed

Marine biological valuation as a decision support tool for marine management

Marine environments are currently experiencing intense pressures from both natural and anthropogenic impacts. Marine policy makers are therefore searching new ways to manage the sea in a sustainable way. This thesis describes the development and application of a biological instrument that can be used for marine management, and more specifically for marine spatial planning. A biological valuation methodology was developed that compiles all available biological information of a certain area in one indicator for biological value. The methodology is widely applicable, transparent and objective and the resulting valuation maps can be used as a warning signal during spatial planning. The possibilities of using this methodology for the implementation of certain European Directives concerning marine nature conservation, are also described
