Blind Work Sample Administration
A method of evaluating candidates by having them complete realistic tasks with all identifying information removed so skills are judged, not background.
"I want to know if they can do the job — not who they are or where they went to school."
Blind work sample administration means designing, distributing, and scoring take-home or live tasks with names, demographic clues, and resume details removed to reduce evaluators' bias. It focuses assessment on observable work outputs and standardized criteria.
