What is Blind Recruitment?

A hiring practice that removes identifying information like names, photos, age, and educational institutions from applications to reduce unconscious bias.

Why it matters in hiring

Blind Recruitment comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
