Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Start with a Template

  1. Create a New Template:

    • Log in to your HireAra account.

    • Go to the Templates section on the branding page and create a new template or open/duplicate an existing one.

  2. Prepare for Anonymisation:

    • Familiarise yourself with the sections you plan to anonymize, such as Candidate Name, Profile, Education, and Job Experience.

Step 2: Anonymise Candidate Name

  1. Remove the Name:

    • Delete the candidate's name from the template.

  2. Replace with Identifier:

    • Click @, type id, and select Identifier or External ID.

      • The identifier generates random names (e.g., Blue Whale, Golden Turkey) for the candidate.

    • Alternatively, if you're integrated with a CRM, you can choose External ID to pull the candidate's unique identifier from the system.

  3. Update the Download File Name:

    • Delete the candidate’s name in the file name section and replace it with the Identifier or External ID.

Step 3: Anonymise the Profile Section

  1. Use AI Builder to Generate an Anonymous Summary:

    • Go to the AI Builder in the Branding section.

    • Create a tag and call it Anonymous Executive Summary and input in the prompt section:

      • Write an anonymous executive summary of the candidate. Do not mention company names or candidate names.

    • Test the output to ensure it meets your expectations.

    • Save the anonymous summary and return to the template.

  2. Replace the Profile Section:

    • Delete the existing profile section and add @Anonymous Executive Summary.

Step 4: Anonymise Education Details

  1. Create an Anonymous Education Summary:

    • In the AI Builder, create a new tag and call it Anonymous Education"and input in the prompt section:

      • Write out the candidate's education in this format:

        • [Certification], [Dates]

    • Test the output to ensure it meets your expectations.

    • Save the anonymous education tag and return to the template.

  2. Replace the Education Section:

    • Delete the original education section in the template.

    • Add the Anonymous Education tag.

Step 5: Anonymise the CV Section

  1. Handle Company Names:

    • Replace company names with an Anonymous Company Description:

      • Click @, type Anonymous, and select Anonymous Company Description.

      • The AI will generate a general description of the company (e.g., Market-Leading E-Commerce Firm).

  2. Simplify Date Information:

    • Remove months from employment dates, leaving only the years to reduce identifiability.

Step 7: Preview the Final Output

  1. Uplaod a CV with your new anomised template and ensure no identifiable information is carried over:

    • Check that:

      • The candidate’s name is replaced with identifiers or External ID.

      • The executive summary, education, and Role descriptions are anonymised.

      • Dates are simplified to years only.

  2. Confirm Details:

    • Ensure no personal or identifiable information remains in the template.
