 Applicants for office jobs in the City of London could be required to submit anonymous CVs under new proposals.According to the Ethnic Minority Advisory Group, taking a name off a CV would ensure that everyone who applies for a job is considered solely on the basis of their skills and experience. Jeremy Cook, vice chairman of the group, said this would be a step forward and stop recruiters being influenced by an applicant's background and ethnicity, the Guardian reports. The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has backed this idea, partly because a growing number of firms are encouraging it already. Tom Hadley, spokesman for the REC, said accepting anonymous CVs allows businesses to cover themselves in case a candidate claims they are a victim of discrimination. Measures to tackle discrimination in the workplace have been included in the government's Equality Bill, which was passed by the House of Commons last month.
