What is Blind Engagement?
Blind engagement is a recruitment practice that eliminates personal information such as name, age, and gender to reduce unconscious bias in the hiring process and increase diversity and inclusion.
Blind engagement is a term used in recruitment to describe the practice of interacting with job candidates without knowing their personal or demographic details such as their name, age, gender, ethnicity, and educational background.
The goal of blind engagement is to reduce unconscious bias in the hiring process by focusing solely on a candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience rather than their demographic characteristics.
Blind engagement may involve removing personal information from resumes or job applications, conducting blind interviews where the interviewer doesn't have access to a candidate's personal information, or using technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to assess a candidate's skills and qualifications without human intervention.
The idea behind blind engagement is to ensure that the recruitment process is fair and equitable and that candidates are evaluated solely on their ability to perform the job. By removing unconscious bias, blind engagement can help increase diversity and inclusion in the workplace and provide equal opportunities for all candidates, regardless of their background or identity.
