Abstract
This article examines the covert native-speakerist strategies iTutorGroup utilizes to discriminate against teachers of nationalities the company appears to deem as undesired. Through content analysis of numerous job application submissions to iTutorGroup’s website, results show iTutorGroup’s automatic hiring process offers teachers of these nationalities a much lower potential wage and only a video-recorded asynchronous interview, if not complete refusal to an interview. In contrast, British, Australasian, and North American nationals are afforded a much higher potential wage as well as a one-on-one live interview. The company conceals these nuanced discriminatory strategies with a façade of equality since they are one of TESOL International Association’s Global Partners. As a Global Partner, iTutorGroup follows suit in pretending to uphold TESOL’s nondiscrimination policies.

Résumé
Cet article examine les stratégies clandestines que l’iTutorGroup utilise pour discriminer contre les enseignants de nationalités qu’ils semblent considérer comme indésirables. Grâce à l’analyse du contenu de nombreuses soumissions de candidatures, les résultats montrent que le processus d’embauche automatique offre aux enseignants de ces nationalités perçus comme indésirables un salaire potentiel plus bas et seulement une entrevue asynchrone enregistrée sur vidéo, voire même un refus d’une entrevue. Les ressortissants britanniques, australasiens et nord-américains, bénéficient d’un salaire potentiel plus élevé ainsi que d’une entrevue individuelle en direct. La compagnie dissimule ces stratégies discriminatoires sous une façade d’égalité puisqu’elle est l’un des partenaires globaux de l’association internationale TESOL. En tant que partenaire global, iTutorGroup suit en prétendant respecter les politiques de non-discrimination.
