If you click through, the paper says the race is self-reported.

“Our data tracks 4,197,168 applications. It includes applicant gameplay features and for each application, the application date, the position name and employer, metadata about the position and employer, and the numerical score and final recommendation each applicant received for each completed application. 40.2% of applicants self-report race with a breakdown of 16.8% Asian, 14.2% White, 3.6% Black, 3.0% Hispanic, and all other racial categories below 2% (i.e. fewer than 100,000 applicants).”
