Best Practices

Language Guidelines

• Use "you" instead of "the ideal candidate"
• Avoid gendered language (he/she → they)
• Remove unnecessary jargon
• Be specific about requirements vs. nice-to-haves
• Include salary range when possible (improves applications by 30%)

Red Flags to Avoid

• "Rockstar" / "Ninja" / "Guru" → Use "Expert" or "Specialist"
• "Fast-paced environment" → Be specific about workload
• Excessive requirements → Limit to 5-7 must-haves
• Vague responsibilities → Use measurable outcomes

Inclusive Language

| Instead of | Use | |------------|-----| | "Young and energetic" | "Motivated and enthusiastic" | | "Native English speaker" | "Fluent in English" | | "Cultural fit" | "Values alignment" | | "Digital native" | "Proficient with digital tools" |
