Remove all identification of race, sex etc from ALL job applications for starters.
I find that the grammar of most resumes I toss out usually coincide with ridiculous first names. Also, any mention of doing anything at a fraternity is a dead ringer. Had one guy looking for a promotion and he said he managed his HBCU'sYeah, but you still have the names. A first name with an apostrophe, begins with "de" (for example), or too few vowels is a dead giveaway. Probably have to create a database where numbers would be assigned to names ... somehow without a lower or higher number having significance.

I love when I read a resume and they are experts at every single thing known to man. HR gizzes and brings them in immediately thinking they have found the holy grail of employees. I used to point out how these people embellish their resume's to trigger certain keywords that companies are looking for. HR people are idiots.

THIS...My wife's company is looking to hire support staff and these resume's read like CEO material. It's a $40-$50K gig. I told her the resumes are packed with buzzwords to get past the screening software.I love when I read a resume and they are experts at every single thing known to man.
