Neutral Job Description Language
Writing job descriptions that focus on required competencies and remove gendered, cultural, or biased wording so a broader, more diverse candidate pool applies.

Neutral job description language means using competency-based, inclusive wording and avoiding gendered, ageist, or culturally loaded terms so the role attracts a representative candidate pool.
