what are you redacting from them ?

Just names/addresses/telephone numbers or also educational establishments, workplaces, dates ?

For what reason ?

In reply to Ian:

Anything that can identify them, names, address, year of education, qualification. this is to ensure an unbiased recruitment process.

In reply to Roza:

Sorry been away on Dartmoor for a few days with no reception

In my mind that kind of redaction never works


If anyone actually wants to they can deduce an age etc from type of qualification or name of establishment.

Over 51 if an Olevel listed, went to a Polytechnic then it was pre 1992. An HNC is a different level qualification depending upon when completed as well, so removing the dates from it render it very hard to objectively compare


You would be better off creating a registration form and getting applicants to use that - then allowing decision makers to just see the fields that are needed for the purposes of deciding on interview
