This way, you will recruit more talented candidates regardless of gender, ethnicity or age, and save time on your recruitment. DD-scan's intuitive interface and the scoring system makes it easy for you to follow up on correcting stereotypic language in your ads, that you can then benchmark across your industry. Our interface supports colour-blind users as well.

Scientific studies have proven that the use of stereotypic language when writing job ads is common practice, and this clearly has a psychological effect on potential applicants. Such language makes these job ads biased towards specific demographic groups, discouraging other groups from applying and this effect can reduce the applicant pool by as much as 50%. As these stereotypes are embedded in our written and spoken language, detecting and replacing it takes much more than just a glance at a short list of words to avoid or even a weekend’s training. Our technology was developed to make sure that job ads appeal to everyone who is qualified instead of just a select few, thus giving companies the opportunity to enrich their teams with the ideal candidates and to onboard a greater diversity of voices. We at Develop Diverse use peer-reviewed theory, psycholinguistic methodology, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning technologies to detect and replace current stereotypical language you use in your texts without realising.
