Riihimäki, FI evaluates anonymous recruitment in city departments during six-month pilot

Riihimäki began the pilot with anonymous recruitment for a robotics instructor and a psychiatric nurse. Hiring managers receive resumes without applicant names, genders, locations, or ages. Anonymous application reviews focus on education, job skills, and past employment experiences. City officials allow department heads to opt into this process rather than making it mandatory. A post-pilot review will determine its impacts on staff diversity and competencies.
