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"
