Companies are working hard to reduce bias in the hiring process. However, eliminating unconscious bias is hard as the human brain tends to categorize people and things naturally. From a report, white job applicants were found to have a higher chance of success (74%) than ethnic minority applicants with identical CVs.
In light of this, we would like to create a blind interview plugin for video conferencing tools such as zoom, and replace applicants' voices and video images with the same avatar and voice.
Time zone was a challenge, as we have 3 different time zones and some not all developers are awake at the same time. However, we are able to overcome this by effective communication, and planning.
