Check Your Job Ads for Inclusivity with the Newly Improved Check My Job Tool

The free tool is designed to help recruiters remove gender bias and improve the effectiveness of their job descriptions. It provides clear insights, language detection, and actionable recommendations that support fairer and more engaging job adverts.

There is room for improvement with gender biased language

Research highlights a significant gap between employer perception and reality: over 90% of UK job ads still contain gender biased language, despite 56% of employees believing their organisation takes a gender neutral approach to hiring.

The impact of biased wording is more than theoretical. Industry analysis shows that removing gender coded terms can increase job applications by more than 30%, demonstrating how small language choices can influence candidate attraction.

Eploy’s updated tool helps bridge this gap by enabling talent teams to easily:

• Identify hidden gender-coded or biased language
• Replace exclusionary terms with more balanced alternatives
• Follow best practice when it comes to job description length
• Strengthen job advert clarity and appeal
• Support wider DE&I hiring strategies

If you’ve not yet taken a look at Eploy’s ATS platform and how it enhances Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DE&I) in your hiring process, here is a summary of the features that help ensure language neutrality and inclusivity, actively supporting your efforts to attract a diverse candidate pool.
