You are of course correct, but I've faced discrimination in hiring practices myself and therefore tried to research more fair methods of conducting interviews.

Aside from the obvious idea of masking one's visual identity for example through VR avatars in lieu of face-to-face interviews (to hide for example gender, physical appearances and able-bodieness), one's voice would still reveal many factors that could be used to purposefully or accidentally skew any neutral position one might have during interviews.
I know for a fact, that if I had the Indian accent to accompany my surname, I would be ranked lower or rejected altogether during interviews. I sadly have a slight rally Finnish accent, so even if my grammar were to be perfect, I'm not a good hire compared with native English speakers even if I'm just as capable for the same position.
