Anonymous hiring has gained significant traction in both Brazil and the United States as organizations increasingly prioritize diversity and inclusion initiatives. In Brazil, it aligns with efforts to address racial and gender discrimination in the workplace. In the USA, it emerged as a response to concerns about systemic bias in hiring. Some major Brazilian companies and government agencies have adopted this practice to promote more equitable recruitment, though it remains less widespread than in European countries like Sweden and Germany.
