> Rather than solve the problem of "why does LLM output slightly stratify between Tufa and Weki like this", I would just not conduct my hiring using this paper's methodology.

You might be missing the point of the paper. It's not "This is the optimal way to hire". It is, rather, "Hiring using an LLM pulls in any and all biases it already has, hidden or not".

IOW, the paper is about a specific danger of using LLMs for making decisions about people: you almost certainly will be perpetuating racial bias.
