<p>Through a correspondence study in Peru between July and September of 2021, we analyze the&nbsp;probability of Peruvian and Venezuelan applicants receiving callbacks to participate in a second&nbsp;stage of a job selection process. We studied the difference in the response rate by nationality,&nbsp;and tested potential mechanisms to reduce it, like holding a temporary residence permit (PTP)&nbsp;or having previous work experience in Peru. We find evidence of discrimination towards Venezuelan immigrants, as they have 4 percentage points less probability of receiving a callback than&nbsp;their Peruvian counterpart (a 43% difference with the control group rate). While previous work experience in Peru offsets the gap, holding a PTP does not attenuate employment discrimination.</p>
