An applicant tracking system (ATS) helps companies organise candidates for hiring and recruitment purposes. The Manage Hiring Processes feature within the Recruitment module allows you to create a new hiring process customised to meet your organisation's needs. The Recruitment module also allows you to edit any hiring processes you have created previously and make any needed changes.

Blind hiring to reduce bias when hiring
Reduce bias by hiding candidate identifiable information when hiring.
- Click the Settings menu, then Recruitment settings.
- Click the Data Privacy Management tab. You may need to click the downward facing arrow to see more options.
- Use the toggle to turn on the Enable blind hiring? option.
When you enable blind hiring, candidate details are anonymised during the early stages of recruitment to help reduce bias. This applies to candidates in the 'New' stage of the hiring process and those surfaced via SmartMatch.
While blind hiring is enabled, the following details will be hidden or replaced with placeholders:
-
Name (e.g., "Candidate #1212")
-
Photo
-
Social profiles
-
Address (may be replaced with an approximate location)
-
Email
-
Phone number
Hiring teams cannot contact candidates while they are anonymised. Candidate details will be revealed once they progress beyond the initial screening stage. Blind hiring can be toggled on or off in Recruitment Settings, and in some cases, at a job level. However, once candidates are in the pipeline, blind hiring may not be reversible.
