Rethink Job Descriptions and Requirements

Be mindful of the language and requirements in your job descriptions. Unconscious bias can seep through the choice of words, potentially deterring diverse applicants. For instance, terms perceived as gender-coded can influence who applies. Additionally, reconsider whether advanced degrees or certain "must-haves" are truly essential for the role or if they unnecessarily narrow your pool of candidates.
