Five Steps to Inclusive Job Descriptions Inclusive job descriptions share five common traits. They employ non-biased job description language, diversity statements, clear requirements, benefits and perks, and widespread publication. First and foremost, inclusive job descriptions include industry-standard titles that job seekers can find and recognize. A job title is the focal point where hiring teams, job seekers, and job boards all first connect. Hiring teams use titles to define and categorize roles. Job seekers use titles as keywords to search for work on job boards. And job boards use titles as keywords to show listings to job seekers. Second, inclusive job descriptions are clear about the role, the responsibilities, and the requirements. They convey what an employee does in a role, whom they report to, and what skills and abilities they need. When the requirements don’t match the job (i.e., they include unnecessary degrees or nice-to-haves), a job ad can actually deter qualified applicants and attract unqualified applicants. Three, inclusive job descriptions authentically represent the company by including diversity statements and benefits/perks sections. Four, inclusive job descriptions use clear, unbiased language that welcomes all job seekers. Job seekers find jargon, wordiness, or awkwardness in job posts confusing. Similarly, some sentiments are welcoming to everyone, while others are welcoming to only certain people. Five, inclusive job descriptions appear everywhere job seekers are looking for them. That means publishing to all major job boards, niche job boards (e.g., FlexJobs for remote workers), and social media. Find Out More At https://datapeople.io/
