Resume studies are natural field experiments in which researchers standardize the content of resumes and vary them by individual characteristics. Researchers submit the resumes to job advertisements and compare the employers' responses toward the different resumes to measure labor market discrimination. Despite the robustness of this method, its use has not been fully exploited in human resource management and organizational psychology research. Based on a literature review, we provide an overview of the best practices for resume studies and a step‐by‐step plan to guide researchers. We also explain challenges in the design and implementation of these studies and how they can be addressed. Finally, we suggest avenues for future research and how future studies can contribute to reduce hiring discrimination.

分析招聘中的歧视：简历研究的指南和最佳实践

简历研究是自然领域的实验，研究人员在其中标准化简历的内容，并根据个人特征对其进行更改。研究人员将简历提交给招聘广告，并比较雇主对不同简历的反应，以衡量劳动力市场的歧视。尽管此方法很健壮，但在人力资源管理和组织心理学研究中尚未充分利用它的使用。在文献综述的基础上，我们概述了简历研究的最佳做法，并提供了分步计划来指导研究人员。我们还将解释这些研究的设计和实施中的挑战以及如何解决这些挑战。最后，我们为将来的研究提供了途径，并为将来的研究如何减少雇佣歧视提供了建议。
