Excerpted from here:
In November, ResumeBuilder.com surveyed 1,131 U.S. hiring managers and recruiters (Note: from hereon we refer to the surveyed group exclusively as hiring managers) about their views of Jewish individuals and perception of the presence of antisemitism in the workplace.
Our findings revealed that there is an alarming amount of antisemitism within companies, a great deal of which is considered acceptable.
Key findings include:
- 26% of hiring managers say they are less likely to move forward with Jewish applicants; top reason for negative bias is belief Jews have too much power and control
- 26% make assumptions about whether a candidate is Jewish based on their appearance
- 23% say they want fewer Jews in their industry
- 17% say leadership has told them to not hire Jews
- 33% say antisemitism is common in their workplace; 29% say antisemitism is acceptable in their company
