The study is kind of weird, because that's simply not how things are conducted during hiring: nobody puts their picture on their resume.

I think some other countries do, but the norms are decidedly against that in the USA, probably to avoid biases like this.

But it is very common to go search out someone's LinkedIn, which does have a profile picture.

This research makes it seem like a good idea not to provide pictures in general.
