--- name: talent-acquisition description: Talent acquisition, job descriptions, DEI-inclusive language, onboarding --- # Talent Acquisition ## Job Description Writing - Lead with impact: describe how the role contributes to the organization's mission - Use clear, specific language for responsibilities and qualifications - Separate "required" from "preferred" qualifications to avoid deterring qualified candidates - Include salary range and benefits highlights for transparency - Keep descriptions concise (700-1000 words ideal) - Structure with consistent formatting: summary, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, EEO ## Bias-Free Language - Use gender-neutral pronouns and job titles (e.g., "chairperson" not "chairman") - Avoid coded language that signals age, gender, or cultural bias (e.g., "rockstar," "ninja," "young and energetic") - Replace aggressive language (e.g., "crushing it," "killer instinct") with collaborative alternatives - Focus on skills and competencies rather than cultural fit - Use tools and checklists to audit job postings for biased language - Avoid unnecessary degree requirements that may exclude diverse candidates ## ATS Optimization - Include relevant industry keywords naturally throughout the posting - Use standard job titles that match common search terms - Structure content with clear headers and bullet points - Avoid tables, images, or special characters that ATS cannot parse - Include location, department, and employment type in structured fields - Test postings against common ATS platforms for parseability ## Interview Guides - Develop structured interview questions tied to job competencies - Use behavioral and situational questions consistently across candidates - Create scoring rubrics to reduce subjective evaluation bias - Train interviewers on legal compliance and unconscious bias - Document interview feedback promptly and objectively ## Employer Branding - Showcase company culture, values, and employee stories - Highlight DEI initiatives and employee resource groups - Feature career development and growth opportunities - Maintain consistent messaging across job boards and social media - Respond to employer review sites professionally ## Onboarding Best Practices - Begin pre-boarding before the start date (welcome email, paperwork, equipment setup) - Assign an onboarding buddy or mentor - Create role-specific 30-60-90 day plans with clear milestones - Schedule regular check-ins during the first 90 days - Introduce company culture, values, and norms explicitly - Provide access to all necessary tools, systems, and resources on day one - Gather new hire feedback to continuously improve the onboarding experience--- name: talent-acquisition description: Talent acquisition, job descriptions, DEI-inclusive language, onboarding --- # Talent Acquisition ## Job Description Writing -
