Applicant Pool Batch Anonymization with anonym.plus

HR Solution · Recruitment & Hiring · EEOC / Title VII

Applicant pool batch anonymization is the removal of personal data from many submissions in one run. EEOC and Title VII goals favour merit over protected traits across the pool. anonym.plus processes up to 20 files at a time on your device, with a shared map so one person maps to one alias.

When this applies

A posting can draw dozens of submissions that all need the same blind treatment. One-by-one work risks drift, so a batch run applies a steady rule.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Point anonym.plus at the pool folder on your machine.
2. It scans each submission for names and bias cues.
3. Local OCR reads any scanned pages in the set.
4. A shared map keeps each person steady across files.
5. Review the summary and fix low-confidence flags.
6. Keep the map ON for blind review, or OFF for anonymity.

What you need to provide

• A folder of submissions (PDF, DOCX, mixed).
• The shared label map, ON for re-link or OFF for anonymity.
• An operator (Replace works well for a pool).

Limitations & cautions

A mixed folder of scans and native files leans on OCR for images, so review low-confidence flags. Keeping the map ON allows re-linking; turn it off when you need true anonymity for the whole set.
