Nameless resumes are a good way to counter the inefficiencies of a system not based on merit.
2 comments

How does a nameless resume help if you haven't removed schools, class, year of graduation, grades and all the other signifiers correlated with free-time and networks.

And that's smoothing over the little problems of the jobs not being open for competition in the first place, not being item for competition once they've been appointed, and that no one has yet to come up with an agreed upon definition for what meritocracy even is...

You either have to strip the potential for character to influence resumes or accept that bias and nepotism will exist.
