- start a job description by getting clear on your company's real identity and core values before writing anything else
- use a creative job title and photos of the actual team to help candidates picture who they would work with
- keep required qualifications as short as possible so you do not scare off great candidates, especially underrepresented ones
- run your job description through a bias checker to catch language that skews too masculine or feminine
- design your application questions around values and growth mindset so you get a high signal to noise ratio of good fits
