Anonymous Hiring: What It Is & Why It’s Important
Finding a qualified candidate to hire is the goal of every hiring manager. We hope that process is fair, objective, and unbiased. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.
Implicit and explicit bias and discrimination continue to impact the hiring process.
In an effort to combat discrimination, bolster fair evaluations, and increase diversity in the workplace, HireToDo allows job seekers to hide identifying information when submitting or reviewing applications. This practice is called anonymous hiring.
So, how does anonymous hiring help?
Anonymous hiring eliminates the opportunity for unconscious bias, leading to fairer evaluation of candidates’ qualifications for the job at hand. For hiring managers, it’s important to remember you’re looking for a cultural add, not just a cultural fit—there’s no one-size-fits-all standard for a good candidate.
