# Blind hiring
Unconscious bias occurs automatically as the brain makes quick judgments based on past experiences and background. Blind hiring is an initiative that helps recruiters to make objective decisions by removing information like gender (by hiding candidate’s name and email), age and few others.
How to turn on blind hiring mode?\
Click on the following:
1. Settings⚙️
2. Application settings
On the bottom of the general settings page you’ll see the blind hiring section.
You can turn on blind hiring for specific roles or for all roles, and that’s because it’s highly recommended to use it as a company policy. Additional information you may want to hide is the location, educational institutions name, and the dates related to the work experience and education.
