Utopic. Even if names are removed and replaced with a random generated number and interviews are done through text message exchange, significant bias will still show through. The interviewer will pick up on writing styles or maybe something in their education that gives a hint. The reason these quotas exist is because minority groups are discriminated against even by people who try not to. It is human nature to gravitate towards what you are comfortable with.
Source: I run a firm in the tech sector and have been in a hiring position for about 25 years.
PS: Bias is not exclusive to CIS straight white people as many articles try to allude to. Some of our clients have an ongoing struggle with entrenched Indian employees only hiring CIS straight Indians and caste discrimination.
As someone who's also been heavily involved in the hiring side I have to agree with you. I've seen the impact of quotas and while they are a blunt instrument with their own problems for sure they do ultimately work.
"cis" isn't an acronym, FYI. It's just short for "cisgender" and doesn't need to be capitalized. No shade intended at all, just wanted to let you know.
Education and writing style are changable though. Any bigotry there sounds more like a systemic/class issue
