About a decode ago, in the civil service they changed application forms to be anonymised. We didn't get to see candidate names, or what school they went to, to try to eliminate any bias.
In my field it just didn't work. Hiring scientists you need to see their track record of publications, so right away we knew who had applied (in a fairly specialised field, you know just about everyone anyway).
Totally different in academia. I went through a recruitment round last month. People sent everything - full CV's, copies of certificates, even photos (which were not asked for).
