Crafting Inclusive Job Descriptions for Diverse Hiring

Job descriptions are usually the first touchpoint in the candidate experience and play a pivotal role in the recruitment process. They are more than just outlines of job responsibilities though; they're windows into an organisation's culture, values, and expectations. Crafted thoughtfully, job descriptions can help attract, embrace, and support individuals with various backgrounds, abilities, and identities.

So, what are the best practices for writing inclusive job descriptions?

We've taken our DEI learnings and experiences as a recruitment organisation, and produced a DEI hiring resource that will help to guide you in writing inclusive job descriptions. In addition to this, you'll also find inside valuable initiatives, practical strategies and tools to help kickstart DEI conversations into your recruitment processes, including:

☑️ Exploring your 'why'.

☑️ Auditing your current recruiting practices.

☑️ Getting buy-in from senior leaders.

☑️ Conducting bias-free interviews.

☑️ Mitigating unconscious biases in hiring.

☑️ Diversifying candidate sourcing.
