Datapeople: Inclusive Job Descriptions Share Five Common Traits

Inbound recruiting experts Datapeople share the five traits common to inclusive job descriptions.
New York,United States - October 7, 2022 /PressCable/ —
According to inbound recruiting experts Datapeople, inclusive job descriptions share five common traits. They employ unbiased job description language, clear requirements, diversity statements along with benefits and perks, and widespread publication.
“Inclusive job descriptions ensure that all qualified job seekers feel comfortable applying, no matter their skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else,” says Datapeople spokesperson Charlie Smith. “But they’re not an accident.”
First and foremost, inclusive job descriptions include industry-standard titles that job seekers can find and recognize, according to Datapeople. 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 on their sites. Industry-standard titles are crucial.
Second, inclusive job descriptions are clear about the role, the responsibilities, and the requirements, according to Datapeople. They convey what an employee does in a role, whom they report to, and what skills and abilities they need to succeed. 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, according to Datapeople. Savvy job seekers don’t assume a company will do right by them. They want to read, in writing, exactly what companies offer employees. A job description with no commitment in writing leaves job seekers with questions, which can deter them from applying.
Four, inclusive job descriptions use clear, unbiased language that welcomes all job seekers, according to Datapeople. 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.
Job description language is often the first or only messaging a job seeker sees from a company, so it has to be clear. Particularly about the specific responsibilities and requirements necessary to succeed in the position.
Five, inclusive job descriptions appear everywhere job seekers are looking for them, according to Datapeople. That means publishing to all major job boards, niche job boards (e.g., FlexJobs for remote workers), and social media.
Job seekers have many options on the internet, so widespread dissemination is key. Only companies with major brand recognition can rely on job seekers coming to their websites. Everyone else has to actively spread the word to introduce their company to a wider audience.
