as well As in Espoo, finland, the S group has tried anonymous recruitment. It recruiter doesn’t see the applications when they read the applicant’s identifying information, such as name, age or gender.

One of the managers told me she recognized that when she didn’t get to see the applicants certain information, it affected his behavior. He called to be sure to interview a wider set than he would be invited without anonymity.
S group in the experiment had similar ambitions: it was to get recruits players to see the possible prejudices of their applicants ethnic background, name, gender, or age of the item.
after the Experiment with age ask for the search form was completely abandoned.
an Anonymous job search purposes is not only a wake up call to employers. It can also be used to attract potential applicants, Sarekoski believes.
