They send resumes with the same accomplishments and names that indicate race and observe the relative degrees of acceptance.

Everytime they do this test, considerable bias is found to still exist.

There are still plenty of proxies that can amount to the same thing. Not a lot of white graduates of HBCUs, for instance. Are we removing the names of all schools, too?

Like many others, we've built a product to do this.

I think it gives a much higher signal on candidates than a resume, and is more "blind" in terms of bias than a human.

It's based on voice messages. Open to all here if anyone wants to take it for a spin. https://candit.net

How do you get an unbiased evaluation of someone with an accent that differs from your training set? It took about a decade for my friends with Indian English accents to be able to use voice controls in luxury cars. And honestly young people from India have a much more American accent than my generation.
