The Blind CV tool works by removing parts of a curriculum vitae that could trigger bias from the person reading it – something that often happens without them even realising.
Names, education, age and career breaks are all taken out of the equation – so it comes down to experience, just like it should.
We think this tool is really important – so important that we’d like to share it with the world. If you’d like to use it as part of your company’s recruitment process, you can download the open source tool now. And if you have any questions, we’re here for that too.
