New into my role, I discovered our external recruiters were sending CVs and sifting info through to hiring managers with all sorts of info that was both unnecessary and potentially creating risk e.g. candidates full names, ages, country of origin, accent (!) etc, as well as the resume details.  I have been focusing on EDI and aiming to try to stop any chance of unconscious bias, so have asked recruiters to not provide this info, and only provide the name and contact details for candidates with resumes we wish to take forward.  I appreciate age is sometimes easy to guess if a candidate includes education dates etc, however we are receiving resumes where candidates have written intro things on their CV such as "I am a young, keen woman..." and "I am a married man with a young family..." etc.  The recruiters are asking whether they should remove this type of thing before passing to us, however this would be onerous for them, and it is something the candidates are actively giving us themselves, rather than this being info the recruiters are taking upon themselves to provide.  I am keen to avoid unconscious bias and our hiring managers have received training.  I'd be interested in your views.  Thanks.
