Name-blinds CVs introduced to reduce

and eventually prevent unconscious bias

PRIVATE and public-sector employers are being asked by the government to remove names from application forms in an effort to stop
unconscious bias against potential
recruits from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. A number of
major employers, including HSBC,
KPMG and the BBC, have already
pledged their support.
But according to Philip McCabe,
head of employment at Spencers
Solicitors, that may not be enough.
Tackling unconscious bias makes
good business sense and, if it
works, name-blind CVs will open
doors for everyone disadvantaged
because their name indicates their
gender, ethnicity or marital status.
In its simplest form, the system
requires applicants names to be
hidden from recruiters sifting applications or compiling interview
shortlists. Studies suggest bias at
this stage is significant.
In 2009, a study for the DWP found
applicants whose names appeared
to be white needed to send nine
applications before getting a posi-

tive response from an employer,

compared to 16 applications from
equally qualified applicants from
minority groups.
Studies in the US produced
almost identical findings and a
report from think tank Demos in
October, Rising to the top, found
only 16 per cent of British Muslims
held professional or managerial
jobs compared to a national average of 30 per cent.
Discrimination in the recruitment process is prohibited by the
Equality Act 2010.
What is meant by the recruitment process isnt defined by
statute but case law suggests it
starts with the decision about how
and where to advertise.
If a workforce is made up of people who are all the same, advertising internally will do nothing to
improve diversity.
Advertising externally is wrought
with pitfalls employers need to be
able to show the decision to advertise in a publication seen mainly
by a particular group is justified.

Getting it wrong could potentially

lead to a discrimination claim.
An employer can take positive
action to address under-representation in its workforce, such as
encouraging applications through
targeted adverts or running mentoring schemes to support and give
under-represented groups the confidence to apply for jobs, develop in
the role and be promoted.
Direct action under Section 158-9
of the Equality Act allows employers to show preference to a candidate with a particular characteristic over another equally qualified
candidate to address an imbalance
in the workforce. This is a power
given to employers rather than an
obligation.
Anonymous applications
could be a positive move,
provided they are not used
in isolation.
Recruiters may not see
the applicants name but
can see other indicators of
background, such as address, school and college.

There are more Jewish, Muslim,

Sikh and Hindu faith schools and
academies than ever. Earlier this
year a study of the 2011 census
by the Muslim Council of Britain showed there are many local
authority wards where Muslims
make up more than 40 per cent
of the population. Recruiters
who are unconsciously biased against names will have
to close their eyes to the applicants educational background
and address too.
There are critics of the
scheme, mainly due to the fact
it will only apply to the initial
sift or short listing stage.
On the face of it, hiding an
applicants name levels the re-

cruitment playing field. However if

the governments efforts to address
the disadvantages experienced
by black and ethnic minorities
through name-blind CVs fails, then
there is little doubt that further
action will follow.
