In Access Recruit, to reduce bias during the recruitment process, you can use anonymisation to hide candidate information from the hiring manager. Workflow stages and questions now have a check box to enable anonymisation, and you need to configure these to enable the feature.

What information is anonymised?

  • The candidate's name is replaced with Anonymised Candidate #123 where 123 is the ID of the candidate.

  • The candidate's email address is replaced with Anonymised Email.

  • The candidate's CV or cover letter is replaced with Anonymised.

  • Social media links on the candidate's profile.

When is the application view anonymised?

  • If you've selected Anonymise on the application's current workflow stage.

  • If the current user can manage the application.

  • If the current user is a hiring manager or basic hiring manager role only.

When is the candidate view anonymised?

  • If the current user can manage any of the candidate's applications and at least one of those applications is currently anonymised.

  • If the current user is a hiring manager or basic hiring manager role only.

Anonymisation of application form answers

If an application is currently anonymised, the application form is also subject to anonymisation. Any questions with the Anonymisation check box selected have their answers replaced with Anonymised. In addition, answers to questions mapped to the following are anonymised by default:

  • Given Name.

  • Middle Name.

  • Family Name.

  • Preferred Name.

  • Form of Address (Salutation).

  • Home Email.

  • LinkedIn.

  • Facebook.

  • Twitter.

  • Google.

Any question with the type File Upload also has the file name anonymised, as these often contain the candidate's name.
