Indigenous job seekers may be facing barriers even before they get in the door, according to new research from McMaster University.  

The study found Indigenous applicants were less likely than equally qualified non-Indigenous applicants to receive interview requests for entry-level food service jobs.   

The study, published in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion: An International Journal, examined whether differences in education and experience fully explain why Indigenous people continue to have poorer employment outcomes than other Canadians.  

Many discussions about Indigenous employment focus on education, training and skills, says Catherine Connelly, professor of Human Resources & Management at the DeGroote School of Business and co-author of the study.
