That may depend on multiple factors:
Alphabetical order (last name): James Bradshaw
Alphabetical order (first name): D'Andre Jackson
First received: indeterminate
What order they are on the stack: indeterminate
You're putting up an argument for which there are insufficient facts on which to form a conclusion.
Furthermore, your argument is inherently sexist, and probably racist as well (it assumes explicitly that the HR person is a man, and implies that he's a white man). However...
- What if the HR person is black?
- What if he's Chinese, Japanese, or Latino.
- What if the HR person is a woman?
My point is this: You're ASSUMING that a bias exists for any HR person, but your argument makes other assumptions that may or may not exist.
