Candidate assessment redaction is the removal of personal data from a test or exercise result. EEOC and Title VII guidance favours job-related, validated scoring. anonym.plus marks names and origin cues on your device, so the result is reviewed on merit, not identity.
When this applies
A scored exercise carries a name header and demographic fields. You hide those cues so the result is judged against the role alone.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the result in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned answer sheet.
- The tool flags name, origin, and contact fields.
- Confirm each flag and keep the score and rubric.
- Swap each cue for a neutral label.
- Save the cleaned result locally.
What you need to provide
- The assessment result (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the rubric readable).
- The optional name map, ON to re-link a top scorer.

Limitations & cautions
A written answer can reveal origin through phrasing or detail. The tool flags named fields; read open responses for indirect cues before scoring.
Frequently asked questions
Why anonymize a scored exercise?
Hiding identity supports fair, validated scoring under EEOC / Title VII guidance, so the result reflects the role, not the person.
Can I re-link a high scorer?
Yes. Keep the name map ON, then restore the identity once scoring is complete.
Is the result uploaded?
No. The app runs locally, so the score stays on your device.
