>It’s also gotten easier for companies to reject for tacit bias such as gender, race, and any other number of factors

In some European countries like Germany, Spain and Austria it's not even tacit as it's tradition to have your photo and birthday in your resume, especially for more traditional companies, to the point where it generated some scandals in Austria and Germany since in some companies, being black or having Slavic/Turkish/Arabic names got your CV rejected by default even though the CVs would fit the requirements.

But it's ok, since they write in the footer of their career page that they don't discriminate on such things. /s

Edit: There's even some German satire about the racism job applicants face over having photos in resumes:
