Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A standardized rubric for evaluating resume content that separates professional qualifications from personal statements.
  2. A training workshop for hiring managers on how to conduct bias-free interviews when faced with unconventional resume content.
  3. A digital tool that helps recruiters anonymize resumes to focus strictly on skills and experience before viewing personal details.
