CV De-Identification for Blind Review with anonym.plus

HR Solution · Recruitment & Hiring · EEOC / Title VII

CV de-identification is the removal of personal data from a curriculum vitae before blind review. EEOC and Title VII goals favour merit over protected traits. anonym.plus marks names, schools, and origin cues on your device, so the panel reads experience alone.

When this applies

A long CV lists schools, dates, and affiliations that hint at age or origin. You hide those hints so reviewers weigh the record, not the person.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Load the document into anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads a scanned academic page if present.
3. The tool flags names, schools, and origin cues.
4. Confirm each flag and keep roles and publications.
5. Swap each cue for a neutral label.
6. Keep the name map ON to re-link a finalist later.

What you need to provide

• The CV (PDF, DOCX, or TXT).
• An operator (Replace keeps the record readable).
• The optional name map, ON for blind review.

Limitations & cautions

A niche publication or a rare grant can still point to one person. The tool flags named items; check the experience section for unique clues before the panel reads it.
