Affinda’s Resume Redactor can be used to redact a wide range of data for a range of benefits:
  • Protect against discriminatory biases: Reduce bias against age, gender, etc.
  • Promote fair candidate selection: Highlight skills and experience rather than background
  • Foster increased diversity: Build teams with broader views and perspectives
  • Retain client contact details: Recruiters can share resumes with their end-customers without sharing names and identifying details
While the Resume Redactor uses similar technology to Affinda’s Resume Parser, it is configured differently to ensure that no data is left unredacted.
  • Bias towards overpredicting
  • Every instance of a particular field or word (e.g. candidate name, location) is redacted
Resume Redactor also works well with Cover Letters
