**Project Background** The background of this project is based on the increased use of the individual-structured telephone interview over recent years and its prominence as an initial step within the general hiring process. This type of interview is used at all levels of positions and is typically led by a hiring manager or a HR representative, whose demographics majoritively coincide with being white and a man, according to EEOC data. If the person responsible for hiring sustains prejudice in the form of modern racism against people of color, it is possible that the abstract concept of voice could be used as a subtle, indirect medium on which to project this bias. **Project Goals** **Study On****e:** The primary goal of this project is to examine how the use of certain English accent styles (i.e. Standard English, Southern American English, and Urban English) effect perceptions of a job candidate’s hirability within an individual-structured telephone interview setting. The results of this study will allow us to contribute to theory on stereotyping in the job selection process, and to applied work on hiring best practices, including policy change, personnel selection training, etc. We also intend to further probe this effect based on additional social identity dimensions as well as supplement existing literature in psychology and linguistics on the effects of using a non-majority accent in a professional setting.
