# Resume Redactor

> How Affinda's Resume Redactor removes personal and demographic data from resumes to support unbiased recruitment, including the list of redactable fields.

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
