This is just a PR stunt.

>There's a lot of room for unconscious bias to color the information. Research tells us that subtle indicators - names, clubs, addresses, school, previous employment, race, parental status, socio-economic status, etc - may unconsciously affect expectations and assessment of a candidate.

"Here at Google, we're independent, free-thinkers, and we're definitely not influenced by the militant leftist crowd that plagues the Bay Area. That's why you're not allowed to take anything about a person into consideration before hiring them. Literally nothing. We're all the same person in every way and everyone is as talented and special as everyone else. Everything is a bias and should be expunged from your evaluation process."

These companies will let the PC police ruin them.
