Why recruiters anonymise submissions

Send a client the raw CV and you've handed them the candidate's email and phone number — nothing stops them reaching out directly and skipping you entirely. Anonymising the document before it leaves your inbox is standard practice for exactly this reason, and it's also become a real bias-reduction step: a hiring manager evaluating "Senior Backend Engineer, 9 years, fintech" reads differently to evaluating a name and a photo.

Doing this by hand — manually redacting a name, an email, a phone number, a LinkedIn URL from a two-page PDF, every time — is the 20 minutes nobody has spare between calls.

Why anonymise a CV before sending it to a client?

A client who has the candidate's name, email and phone can contact them directly — which is exactly the placement fee walking out the door. Recruiters anonymise submissions specifically to prevent that, and increasingly to reduce unconscious bias in early screening too.

What exactly gets removed?

Name, email address, phone number, street address, and any LinkedIn or profile URL — stripped by the model and then checked again by a separate deterministic pass over every field, so a missed detail in the AI's output still gets caught.

Does this tool store my file?

No. The resume is read in memory to produce the anonymised result and then discarded — it's never written to disk. This is the same guarantee the full MagflowAI product makes on every upload, not a separate, looser policy for the free tool.

Is this really free?

Processing your first few resumes is free, no account needed. Seeing and downloading the full anonymised result requires a free account — MagflowAI itself runs on a 7-day free trial after that, no card required to start.
