Show HN: Fight bias with Details Redacted
3 comments
Interesting idea. Are email addresses redacted? Is the redacted data configurable?
I like being able to round file resumes from [email protected] and domains like hotmail, msn, or aol.

Right now everything is being done by hand, so it's totally configurable. But I imagined email addresses would be redacted, yes.
It brings up an interesting point, though - perhaps something that ranked the various components of a resume would be more useful. Rather than simply redacting the email, for instance, I could assign it a value based on the respectability of the domain and the applicant's choice of username.
School could similarly be ranked by some objective score (which might provide the added anti-bias measure of anonymizing presumed nationality). Work could be reduced to number of years in a given industry, at least for the purpose of a once-over of your candidates.

Maybe turn it into a SaaS API? Sort of like a XSS-filter but just for pronouns.
Is this something you'd be interested in? Are there any features I could add to make it more appealing?
