blind hiring
[/blaɪnd ˈhaɪərɪŋ/]
noun
recrutamento às cegas
1. A hiring practice where identifying information about candidates (such as name, age, gender, race, or educational background) is removed from resumes and applications before review, to reduce unconscious bias in the selection process
The company implemented blind hiring to ensure that candidates were evaluated solely on their skills and qualifications.
A empresa implementou o recrutamento às cegas para garantir que os candidatos fossem avaliados apenas por suas habilidades e qualificações.
2. The process of screening job applicants without personal demographic data that could influence hiring decisions
Blind hiring has been shown to increase diversity in tech companies by focusing on merit rather than background.
O recrutamento às cegas mostrou aumentar a diversidade em empresas de tecnologia ao focar no mérito em vez da origem dos candidatos.
Blind hiring has gained significant prominence in both American and Brazilian corporate environments as part of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. In the USA, it emerged from civil rights concerns and workplace discrimination laws. In Brazil, it addresses structural inequalities and racial disparities in the job market. Tech companies in both countries have been pioneers in adopting this practice, though adoption varies across industries and company sizes.
