Develop an Inclusive Job Description
Let’s write a job description that includes the key criteria that matter most for the role we’re hiring for, and pay particular attention to the language we use so we have the widest pool of applicants to get the best person for our team. Job descriptions have more influence on hiring than you might think. In fact, there is significant evidence that reveals gender bias against women and minorities in most JDs. Aligning as a team on a JD that mitigates unconscious bias will help us in our diversity and inclusion goals.
