Hiring guide
Plan a careful blind recruitment process
Decide which information reviewers need, which details to withhold and how to keep assessments comparable.
Define the purpose before hiding information
Blind recruitment limits identifying details during an assessment step. Decide which information is unnecessary for that decision and how the remaining evidence will be evaluated. Removing names alone does not remove every possible source of bias; education, employers and writing samples can reveal context too.
Check every material the reviewer sees
Prepare a consistent review pack and inspect the CV, notes, attachments and shared links for details you intend to withhold. Draft can support candidate records and review collaboration, but do not assume every surface is automatically anonymized.
Use agreed, job-related criteria and record the evidence behind recommendations. Document when identity will be reintroduced and why, then review whether the process improved consistency rather than assuming it did.
