This reminds me of when the Australian government did blind recruitment.

"Blind recruitment means recruiters cannot tell the gender of candidates because those details are removed from applications."

"The trial found assigning a male name to a candidate made them 3.2 per cent less likely to get a job interview.

Adding a woman's name to a CV made the candidate 2.9 per cent more likely to get a foot in the door."
