Anonymous job applications and hiring discrimination : anonymous job applications can level the playing field in access to jobs but cannot prevent all forms of discrimination

Ulf Rinne (IZA, Germany)

The use of anonymous job applications to combat hiring discrimination is gaining attention and interest. Results from a number of field experiments in European countries (France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden are considered here) shed light on their potential to reduce some of the discriminatory barriers to hiring for minority and other disadvantaged groups. But although this approach can achieve its primary aims, there are also some cautions to consider.
