Why HR teams choose Caseflow for blind recruitment
Focus on skills rather than CVs
Candidates are evaluated based on their responses to job-related scenarios rather than their name, photo, educational background or ability to write a traditional application.
A more consistent basis for evaluation
Every candidate completes the same job-related assessment and is evaluated against consistent criteria defined in advance and linked directly to the role.
More relevant candidates considered
Candidates who may be overlooked during traditional CV screening are given the opportunity to demonstrate their potential, motivation and approach to situations they may encounter in the role.
Less manual screening
Caseflow structures and evaluates candidate responses, making it easier to compare applicants and identify those who best match the predefined job criteria.

What our customers say about recruiting with Caseflow
Frequently asked questions
What does blind recruitment mean?
Blind recruitment means hiding selected personal information so candidates can be evaluated without factors such as their name, age, gender or photo influencing the initial screening.
Is blind recruitment the same as anonymous recruitment?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Anonymous recruitment usually refers specifically to hiding personal information, while blind recruitment may describe a broader process focused on evaluating candidates independently of identity and background.
Can blind recruitment be carried out using CVs?
Parts of a CV can be anonymised, but information about education, previous employers and career history may still influence the initial screening.
Caseflow therefore uses job-related assessments as the primary basis for the first selection.
The CV can still provide useful context later in the process, when preparing for interviews.
When do we see the candidate’s identity?
This depends on how the process is configured. The identity can, for example, be revealed once candidates have been selected for an interview.
Is blind recruitment relevant for every role?
It is particularly useful when specific skills, priorities or work situations can be identified and assessed consistently. The assessment should always be adapted to the role.
