blind hiring
Identity-concealed candidate selection
Blind hiring is a recruitment practice that conceals candidates' identifying information—names, photos, schools, addresses—to reduce unconscious bias in hiring decisions.
The goal is to evaluate applicants based on skills and qualifications rather than characteristics that might trigger prejudice: The company adopted blind hiring after noticing their interview pool lacked diversity.
