Sorry to be a downer on this, but I am skeptical on how effective this could be - all the companies I have worked for (where I have actually enjoyed working there) the main part that made everything work was cultural fit - similar sense of humour, gets along well with the team, social etc.

I can see how possibly in some companies this could be achieved but it seems like it would be for a job where you are just a number not a person - YMMV I guess.

Same for me about the best companies. In my case they were also the less inclined to discriminate employees in any way and spent minimal time on technical assessment. Maybe the less a company cares about cultural fit, the more it tends need anonymous process from an employee perspective? I think there should be ways to make anonymous hiring work, especially taking into account how broken current hiring processes are, despite of being extremely selective.
