“In general it’s probably best not to anonymize applications. Field studies generally show no effect on interview selection, and sometimes even show a negative effect (which has also been seen in the lab)”—It seems strange to mention this and then not even address the obvious implication that one might draw from this.
The other point is that these practises are analysed as though they don’t have tradeoffs, when there almost always is. I suppose discussing this would make this document even longer than it is, but you have listed these as “recommendations” as opposed to “possible approaches”.
