LinkedIn's new feature can hide names and photos to minimise bias
LinkedIn's new feature lets administrators hide details of candidates like photos and names to avoid bias during sourcing procedures. LinkedIn can mask any indications of color or race on a profile to avoid any bias during recruitment. When these details are hidden, an avatar replaces the candidate's picture, and randomly generated letters replace the name.
Hari Srinivasan, LinkedIn's Vice President of Product said qualified candidates are sometimes overlooked due to unconscious bias as recruiters use pictures and names to evaluate the candidate's qualifications. He also cited a study that found candidates who had "black names" received fewer calls back from recruiters compared to the same application with "white names".
