Study says they compared they/them pronouns to no pronouns with a gender neutral name. They didnt include a she/her option or a he/him which is a shame. Id be interested to see how they/them compares to she/her.

I remember this when it came out a few months ago. There was a long Reddit thread with tons of hiring managers/HR that were chiming in and the general consensus was that there was too much risk and liability involved, so many just chucked those resumes. Even if they had no issues with trans/NB.

this is what I figured might be it

I think that using pronouns at all is still seen as a political statement on a resume. If you see someone named Karen listing their pronouns as "she/her" you can assume they are fairly progressive.

But you really have no reason to put such information on your resume. That info is for the application. Your resume is only meant to contain your work and education history along with some skills and your basic contact information (name, phone, and email).

Your race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are entirely irrelevant on a resume as neither have anything to do with first impressions job-wise. An employer is looking for your skills to see if you're a good fit, your gender doesn't matter. In fact, it has always been advised NOT to put any identifying info like that on your resume precisely due to discrimination. That includes your address to because address discrimination is also a thing.

Only during a face-to-face interview may the hiring manager accidentally misgender you and at that point, it's not a big deal to correct them. They may even ask in advance. The absolute worst they can do is wrongly say Mr. or Ms.

You deal with it literally the same way you deal with anyone: You refer to them the way they ask and just don't be a dick. If you can do this for the 99.5% of non trans people, you can do it for the remaining .5%

No, it's an important identifier. Have you ever received a resume from a Taylor or Alex and not known if it was a man or a woman? Wouldn't a pronoun help there?

Gender shouldn't matter in the first place.

That's so much BS. Liability how? (This is rhetorical, not expecting you to have the answer) It literally changes nothing about their ability to do their jobs.
As mentioned repeatedly in the topic when people cite hiring managers and the like, it is viewed by them as inviting "drama" with HR and litigation.

Even if it is wrong, hiring managers and potential employees are both human(to say nothing of the AI that filters out applicants for larger companies) so your best choice when applying to a job is to account for that, even if morally you shouldn't have to do so. In this case it means putting pronouns on a resume might cost you a potential job if the hiring manager sees it as taking on "unnecessary risk".

So with a resume the core is to show your experience, show your dedication, show flexibility, all with the goal of getting an in-person interview.

Pronouns are not some trans thing. It's something that is basic language. Pronoun hate is the dumbest thing ever. It's hard to talk without using pronouns.

I know some are going to disagree, but I'd argue it's ill advised to give additional unnecessary information on your resume.

I'd advise against sharing personal information that has nothing to do with the job.

Hiring managers are already going through 10s to 100s of resumes, and looking for every little reason to disqualify a resume. Just give enough information that at least gets you in the door for an interview.

Is a persons name unnecessary information? I dont see how a pronoun is any more or less necessary than a name. Thats literally the thing the pronoun stands in for.

I think you reactionaries have lost the plot.

If you omit your pronouns from your resume then someone can still infer them from your name. If that person is wrong then you can correct them, if they haven't already asked.

If you omit your name from your resume then you just seem like an idiot and nobody is going to bother reaching out to you at all.

Um... What? You're saying a proper noun is just as important as a pronoun. A person's name is not unnecessary because when you actually speak to them you wouldn't actually know their name. You never actually need someone's pronouns. It's never even necessary on the job.

This isn't a reactionary thing. If you don't know a person's name, how do you identify who it is?

You cant always infer pronouns from someones name. This is obvious, and you should probably know this already.

If you omit your name from your resume then you just seem like an idiot and nobody is going to bother reaching out to you at all.
This doesnt follow. You can contact someone by just knowing a phone number or an email address.

Its purpose is to indicate how someone wants to be referred to. This isnt rocket science. Its basic communication.

For those of us here who do/have hired in the past.

Have you ever called someone up and been surprised because you thought it was the opposite gender? You do it long enough and itll happen.

And thus you should know that it literally doesnt matter. It cannot matter. It's illegal if it matters. One of those iykyk situations. And if you don't? Well, keep trying to argue in favour of putting pronouns on a resum.

Curious where workday or hris software autopopulates the pronouns.

I'm not Artirock but, you said that not only is a pronoun no more or less as important as a name, but that it's also meant to be a stand-in for a name. Implying that a pronoun can be used instead of a name because they're equally as important which is just... not correct lol.

Yes, pronouns replace proper nouns in speech. Thats their purpose. Is that confusing for you?

Imagine looking at a resume and it just has He/Him on it and a phone number. No name
Imagine pissing and shitting your pants because someone put (he/him) on a resume.
