As the article says, the first rounds of interviewing (seeing if you have the technical skills to consult) can be done without seeing you. That sort of thing routinely involves human judgment, but does not need it. Your personability, which requires human judgment, can be measured afterwards.<p>It seems to me that the same argument could be made against blind orchestra auditions. You could potentially play your instrument amazingly well, but also be unpresentable on stage. Maybe you refuse to wear clothes that fit. Maybe you pick your nose during rests. Maybe you shake your leg subconsciously. If those are real problems, they can be found <i>after</i> hearing a good audition, and they won&#x27;t allow unconscious bias to interpret the human judgment of whether the audition is in fact good.
