Abstract – This study aims to introduce “Blind Hiring” method in the Philippine
public sector recruitment process. The Civil Service Commission currently uses
competency-based recruitment in order to determine the suitability of an applicant
for a particular position in the fulfillment of its constitutional mandate to ensure merit
and fitness in the selection of candidates for public office. However, unconscious
bias and subjective assessment decreases the effectiveness of this process. To
address this issue, the author proposes a new public sector recruitment and
selection process known as the "Anonymized Competency-Based Recruitment and
Selection Process" (ACBRASP). This is an enhance feauture of blind hiring and
competency-based recruitment using an AI-Techology/software that operates as a
mechanism of temporarily removing demographic information while at the same time
applying an objective assessment to determine the "best fit" candidate for the job.
With ACBRASP-aligned software, the demographic profile, such as name, date of
birth, sex, attended school, socio-economic background and other identifiable
information that may lead to unconscious bias, will be temporarily hidden from the
Human Resources staff and officers. These information will not be viewable in the
application form, examination booklets, and behavioural interviews, as well as from
the shortlists of applicants submitted to the appointing authority; instead, an
Applicant Reference Tracking System Code (ARTSCo) generated by a computer
shall be assigned to the individual applicant to identify them during the process.
Only skills, relevant experience, training, college courses and other vital information
needed for the vacant position are viewable. The organization can, therefore,
leverage the resources of its HR to perform functions other than recruitment.
Furthermore, ACBRASP also provides a procedural flow of “no show follow-up and
paperless recruitment and selection” as the assessment is operated using the HR
dashboard and the communication between the applicant and the organization is
made through this system. The author believes that this strategy would eliminate
unconscious bias, negative initial impressions and promote public sector diversity,
equity and talent acquisition by recruiting candidates on the basis of their
qualifications, abilities, knowledge, and skills, using modern technology. A survey
questionnaire was distributed to determine the acceptability and willingness of the
respondents to adopt the process: first, personal distribution to four government
agencies; and, second, an online survey questionnaire to selected government
employees. The study result showed the readiness and willingness of the
respondents to incorporate the ACBRASP in their recruitment process.

recruitment system. It will allow applicants to compete with each other on the basis of their
credentials, free from political affiliation or other intervention, influence and control.
The author of this study would like to ensure that the job application in the public
sector is based on the principle of merit and fitness—the equitable acceptance of application
forms, the fair assessment of qualifications, regardless of demographic profile and
photographs, and the equal opportunity to demonstrate a significant difference between the
applicants.
In order to apply the merit system principle in the recruitment and selection process,
the author introduces the “Anonymized Competency-Based Recruitment and Selection
Process” (ACBRASP) in the public sector. This new system ensures diversity in the
workplace and promotes equality and fairness in the assessment of qualifications during
recruitment. It includes everything from finding the individuals with great potential, accepting
and employing them as part of the workforce, and motivating them by ensuring they are
recruited on the basis of their skills, expertise and competence. Most importantly, this
ensures that they have the opportunity to do so or the ability to contribute to the
organization’s productivity and achievement.
Anonymized Hiring

COPYRIGHT © 2019 Munoz, Philippines. All rights reserved
The aim of Anonymized Hiring is to evaluate prospective hires solely on the basis of
their skills. In that sense, the personal information provided in the resumes, the curriculum
vitae or the Personal Data Sheet is considered to be relics of the applicant's history. Name,
date of birth, place of birth, sex, alma mater should not be the criterion for determining the
effectiveness and performance of the applicant. This method is not a complete removal of
the demographic profile; it will only withhold demographic information during the assessment
in order to prevent HRMDO staff and officers from having personal preferences,
unconscious biases and adverse initial impressions on the applicant. Upon completion of the
recruitment process, all of the information provided by the applicant may be accessed by
the HRMDO staff and officers in the final stage of the applicant's appointment process.
Multiculturalism is usually based on one of two theories: the "melting pot" theory or
the "salad bowl" theory. The Melting Pot Theory, as applied in the recruitment process,
suggests that different individuals tend to "melt together” and abandon their individual
cultures (such as the Filipino word "utang na loob”, "pakikisama”, "kumpare at kumare") and
eventually form one culture with the organization. The Salad Bowl Theory defines a very
diverse community in which individuals coexist but maintain at least some of the unique
characteristics of their traditional cultural identity. Like the ingredients of a salad, different
cultures are brought together, but they preserve their own distinct features rather than
becoming a single unified community. The theory of salad bowls argues that it is not
necessary for individuals to change their cultural identity in order to apply for jobs, as it does
not assess their ability to contribute to the organization.

For a long time, the relevance of "Culture fit" as a work requirement was debated.
For some, culture fit or compatibility is used in the recruitment process as a criterion for
assessment when the HR staff or the officer belongs to the same background, for instance,
when the HR staff is a graduate of the university where the applicant has attended, there is a
presumption that the applicant may be considered moving towards the next stage of
assessment. Some think that culture fit is the predominant element to consider; after all,
skills can be taught and learned, but personality or demeanor is inherent to the applicant
(Bika, 2018). Culture fits seem to be a qualities and features that fit to one’s preferences.
Culture fit is the sealant that binds the entire organization altogether (Bouton, 2015).
It is believed that somebody is likely to express and/or contribute to the key values and
behaviors of the organization because they belong to the same background. Could this be a
clear source of discrimination and inequality?
On the other hand, instead of connecting applicants to current staff, hiring managers
should take a closer look at the special features, values, and interests of collaboration that
could motivate applicants to join the organization. “Culture add” is a word used to describe
individuals who not only respect values and organizational culture, but also introduce an
aspect of diversity that makes a positive difference to the organization (Wepow).
The "Best fit" applicant is the best candidate in a position. The applicant has all the
abilities, experience and capacity to adapt and embrace new learning given the momentary
exclusion of the demographic profile. He/she does not need to be part of the same culture as
the current staff, rather he/she must show the strength of his/her qualifications and
commitment to contribute and to be a potential leader of the organization. The human
instinct for belonging will enable the applicant to adjust to the culture of the organization, and
therefore culture should not be the criterion for evaluating one's productivity.
People are the key elements of a successful organization, they are the pillars of the
organization. Because people are the pillar of all progress, the organization must carefully
plan, establish and successfully accomplish all the objectives, initiatives and projects of the
organization and, thus, it must adopt a recruitment process that would identify excellent
employees from poor performers. In short, the sustainability of the organization starts with
recruitment and selection by using the right tool to identify the best fit applicant. Without a
proper tool that highlights the strengths, abilities, knowledge and skills of the applicants, the
recruitment process can fail, resulting in a bad recruitment process. In this scenario, the
organization wastes more than resources, money, time and effort by attracting, recruiting
and training candidates who might not have been employed in the organization in the first
place (Half, 2018). The organization has to deal with all the problems that the “bad hire”
employee may cause: incompetent staff to perform their duties, costs that may arise when
the organization has to duplicate poorly outcome, and stress to bridge the gaps on some
other employees. There is no end to poor recruitment rising costs. Consider the
organization's expense and the inconvenience that HR has to reduce this cost or worst
terminate the employee because of the wrong selection. In fact, tolerating a poor employee
would be more difficult for the director and employees of HRMDO than investing in quality
recruitment and finding suitable applicants.
The ACBRASP offers an alternative process to eliminate "bad hire" and recruit
qualified candidates that will allow HR staff and officers to overcome and manage the
5

unconscious habit of bias, discrimination, negative bad impression and personal preferences
due to familiarity, friendship, culture and influence.
In conceptualizing ACBRASP system, the author of this study considered the factors
in the Talent Management System (TMS). It refers to the process of hiring and integrating
new staff, enhancing and sustaining existing employees and encouraging highly skilled
people to work for the organization. David Watkins coined the phrase "talent management"
which includes recruiting, maintaining and expanding an organization's pool of resources in
combination with other management functions so that the organization will never be depleted
from expertise (Saxena, 2012). The mechanism of sustaining talent in an organization and
fostering new potential leads to competitiveness between organizations and was, therefore,
a competition for knowledge and expertise. By identifying potential candidates, interviewing
and hiring capable people with successful experience, their ability to seek, accept and fulfill
challenging tasks, the ACBRASP used this approach as its basis for setting up the system.
Figure 1 shows the Talent Management objective by identifying key roles that are
highly essential and have a significant impact on organizational competitiveness by creating
and generating a team of highly qualified employees to perform tasks as a result of an
effective HR system that defines, prepares and develops significant roles. (Ganaie, et al,
2017). The strategic recruitment of important roles contributes significantly to the sustainable
economic benefit of the company, having a combination of skilled candidates and highly
efficient incumbents to perform these tasks, and introducing a flexible human resource
process that not only encourages qualified applicants to perform these tasks, but also
maintains a comfortable and safe environment.

The formation of all these four aspects of human talent will lead to Value Creation
that allows the organization to focus on the skills, expertise, and competencies of its present
staff and potential workforce. As the ACBRASP suggests to concentrate on candidates'
ability to perform for a particular position, whether these applicants/candidates belong to
external or internal sources, the organization can tailor a long-term commitment to job
satisfaction, foster a feeling of accountability and facilitate employee engagement.
Competency-Based Framework
Figure 2 shows that apart from the current recruitment process of the Philippine Civil
Service Commission (CSC) that requires a candidate to meet the minimum qualification
standards for education, eligibility, training and experience, CBRQS was integrated in the
evaluation of the relevant skills necessary in a particular position in the recruitment process,
intended to enhance effectiveness in evaluating competencies of the applicants/candidates
for a specific role (Civil Service Commission, 2014). With this strategy, the CSC
acknowledges that recruiting and retaining the best staff will lay the foundation for top-
performing, skilled and reliable civil servants.
The allocated ARTSCo will be the permanent reference number of the applicant if
he/she has applied to different organizations using ACBRASP, whether in the public or
private sector.
ACBRASP acknowledges and addresses the unconscious biases that are likely to
happen during the process of evaluation and selection. The operational feature of ACBRASP
embraced the idea of 'blind recruitment' while a competency-based approach is the essential
7
COPYRIGHT © 2019 Munoz, Philippines. All rights reserved
element of this study. During the blind recruitment process, the applicant's name, age,
sex/gender, alma mater, school attended and other identifiable data were immediately
excluded. While the competency approach is an in-depth and fundamental assessment of
skills, knowledge and other merit-based qualifications as embedded into the examination
and interview to validate the candidate's representation and their potential to contribute to
innovation, organizational success, and efficiency.
In addition, the use of ACBRASP can discard the practice of referral, which continues
to have a strong influence and power in recruitment. Referral alone is not the best way to
make a decision, but it can provide useful data when deciding between applicants. However,
for instance, referral leads to corruption and inequality, as applicants who have been
referred by senior officials have a preference to be hired in the public sector, or the person
who has been referred to an elected official has a greater influence on holding office in the
government.
In focusing solely on skills and abilities through job experiences and right
assessment tool, there is less chance of being "unfit" in the workforce and in the
organization. The author aims to highlight that when an applicant is hired on the basis of
his/her credentials, expertise, experience and competence, the propensity of the employee
to trust the public sector hiring process can lead to job satisfaction and a decrease in
turnover.
The system may be used by both the private and public sectors, but the author would
first like to concentrate on the use of ACBRASP in the public sector. The Public Sector is an
agency that has been set up to manage regulatory and operational requirements that allow
the State to achieve its public governance objectives (Callender, 2001). The public sector is
usually set up as a government-owned and controlled entity that aims to provide services to
its citizens. It is not designed to make economic gains, but to represent its people by
enacting and enforcing rules and regulations for the good of all.
(1) The Manual procedure, where the applicants are required to accomplish the application
form, placed the form in an envelope and sealed it. A separate anonymized form was
subsequently completed with the respective ARTSCo. The entire ACBRASP manual process
is anonymized (application form, examination, behavioral interview and list of nominees for
an appointment) and the sealed envelope where the applicant's application form has been
placed will only be opened after a nominee candidate has been selected;
(2) ACBRASP in the Agency Website. This is an IT-driven technology in which the job
vacancy is made on the Agency's website and the application form is submitted by encoding
the applicant's personal information. Once the applicant has finished encoding his/her data,
the system will generate an ARTSCo for the applicant by pressing the "Submit" button while
the Agency receives an anonymous application form with the same ARTSCo that the
applicant receives. The entire hiring and selection process will be anonymised, as the case
may be, or as defined by the organization; and,

(3) ACBRASP app. This is an AI-based technology using a mobile apps software for the
user/applicants and computer dashboard for the organization that can view the anonymized
application form (in excel) in a short period of time, with an accurate assessment. This
system requires a server to store the application forms and other information of the
applicant/user. It is an algorithm for identifying and matching applicants with vacant
positions, a user-scheduling evaluation tool for applicants, a transactional status setting, a
scorecard or employee monitoring reference protocol (EMREP), a promotional or selection
behavioral analysis, an automated ranking of applicants performance and ratings, a tracking
and texting function, and a communication channel/response on the status of the application.
This software app has four users:
This software application has a notification feature and is capable of determining whether
the preferred position of the applicant is in connection with the vacancy indicated by the
organization. This is a recruitment practice that requires “no follow-up and promote a
paperless recruitment”. All updates will be sent through mobile apps to the applicant/user
and the prompter will be shown on their mobile phone.
THE TECHNOLOGY
In an article written by Bortz (2018), he addressed the rise of tech start-ups in the
2000s to make it easier for HRMDO teams to implement anonymized recruitment strategies.
Such providers are updating their technology to integrate current applicant tracking systems
(ATSs) which are not normally designed to remove the applicant's recognizable data. One
example, GapJumpers, was introduced in 2014 by a company with the same name. The
program allows workers to evaluate candidates on the basis of relevant performance issues.
The author used two methods in this study: first, the applicant as the ACBRASP user.
The procedure that the applicant should comply are, as follows:
1. Installation- In order to have access to the ACBRASP system, the applicant shall
install the software programs on their mobile phone.
2. Registration- The applicant registers in the application software and then encodes all
the information required to be submitted by the applicant in the ordinary application
form, including the demographic profile, and uploads his/her current photograph.
3. Answer the Competency Questions- In order to determine his/her current knowledge,
skills or abilities, the applicant/user should answer some essay questions given in the
system
4. Data Privacy Provision- After everything has been answered, the applicant must read
and agree with the data privacy provisions of the system.
9

5. Applicant’s Data stored in the system- Once agreed, the applicant's information/data
is automatically saved by clicking the "Agreed" button.
6. Vacancy- If the organization has a vacancy, the system selects and matches the
preferred position of the applicant/user that they encoded during the registration
process.
7. Matching- If the applicant desired positions suit the vacancy, he/she will receive an
invitation notice. The applicant must click the "Send" button and this action will mean
that the system will deliver his/her anonymized application form to the organization
publishing the vacancy. He/she can log out of the system if he/she is not interested
8. Applicant’s Reference Tracking System Code (ARTSCo)- The applicant's permanent
ARTSCo will be reflected in both the confirmation receipt of the applicant and
reflected in the anonymized application form sent to the organization, this will identify
him/her in the recruitment process.
9. Data update- The applicant/user may at any time update his/her system data.
10. Retention or Deletion- In the ACBRASP database, the applicant/users may choose to
remove or store their data. So long as the applicant's data is in the system he/she will
be informed of the vacancy whenever an organization posts a vacancy that suits the
applicant's preferred position.
11. Security Access- The applicant/user may only access and modify his/her ACBRASP
account by encoding his username, password, the One-Time Password (OTP) sent
to his/her registered mobile number and by answering the security question.

anonymized, but the organization can choose whether or not this phase is still
anonymous or which positions should be anonymized during the interview.
13) During the interview, the applicants are positioned in an area where they are not
identified or viewed by the interviewer and the questions are structured on the basis
of the skill of the applicants.
14) The results of the interview shall be recorded by the HR Staff in the respective
ARTSCo in the system
15) When all the necessary ratings have been encoded, the HR staff will press the
"Evaluate" button and the results of all ratings in the assessment will appear by rank
in the HR dashboard.
16) The system will print the complete assessment matrix for submission to the
appointing authority by pressing the "Print Final Report" button. The matrix includes
the following information:
17) In the column “Comment,” the appointing authority shall indicate his/her decision
and select the ARTSCo which he/she believes fits into the vacant position. After the
selection of the candidate to be named, the appointing authority shall affix his/her
signature to the approved portion of the form.
18) The HR staff will upload the approval form in PDF file and click the "Appointment"
button on the selected ARTSCo to print the complete application form with the
applicant's photograph, the system will also print the appointment paper and the
complete evaluation result for applicant's signature and thumb mark.
19) The EMReP shall be opened by HR staff and the box shall be marked with a “√” to
indicate who is appointed to the position and “X” if not considered. Then press
"Finish" to deliver a notice, whether the applicants are considered or not for the
position.

The Recruitment dashboard/portal is the database of the applicant's records and the
mode of communication between the candidate and the organization. It is a medium used for
the recruitment cycle such as searching, attracting, recruiting and selecting an applicant for a
position and other HR activities. It also synchronizes and organizes all the results of the
assessment according to the ARTSCo of the applicants. The HR dashboard connected to
the ACBRASP system secures and transmits the details of the applicants to the organization
in an anonymous manner.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Figure 4 illustrates the conceptual framework of this study, which aims to introduce in
the public sector a new approach to a sustainable recruitment and selection process which
promotes diversity in the workplace and offers equal opportunities for public employment.
The author identifies the phases in the conduct of the ACBRASP, namely: (1) the
filing of the application form; (2) the qualifying examination; (3) the conduct interview; and (4)
the choice of the appointing authority.
This research was undertaken to introduce the ACBRASP in the public sector, and
applied during the following:

The overall result of the study found that the respondents were interested when
ACBRASP was introduced to them and showed willingness and acceptance to undergo this
process. Based on the above, a verbal interpretation of "Agree" result with a weighted mean
of 1.79 was obtained in the overall assessment of the respondent's acceptability and interest
to incorporate ACBRASP in their recruitment and selection process.
The author introduced ACBRASP in the public sector on the premise that this system
can completely eliminate stigma and prejudice in the recruitment process and, as a result,
will provide a speedy and effective approach to determining who among the candidates can
be deemed “best fit” and shown “culture add” despite the fact that his/her personal
information has been temporarily concealed, ensuring that no other possible influence may
affect the employment decision.
ACBRASP, when incorporated into the recruitment process, is part of a growing effort
to eliminate the faulty character of the subjective judgment that interferes with the
recruitment of the best candidates for a job. It strengthens recruitment impartiality and
workforce integration that can be registered and monitored through the HRMDO's hiring
indicators or standards.
The author would like to highlight that ACBRASP aims to eliminate unconscious bias,
inequality, and subjectivity of the conventional hiring process. This process, in effect, will
encourage new hires to be effective employees and further ensure that minorities,
marginalized groups and people with entirely different backgrounds have the opportunity to
demonstrate to the organization their expertise and skills
