Bias in Job Adverts

Are you using ChatGPT for job adverts? Check out for its inclusivity!

An analysis* of 7,000 job adverts created by humans and compared with ChatGPT-generated adverts for each of these positions, revealed that ChatGPT-written job ads are:

• Almost twice as biased overall as those written by humans

• 41% more biased against people with physical disabilities compared to human-written ads

• 41% less inclusive towards neurodivergent candidates

How can you ensure that job adverts are more inclusive?

When I audit job advertisements for clients, I check for many indicators, among them:

• Gender-specific, gender-neutral, and gender-coded language

• Competences and task descriptions and their relevance for the job

• Differentiations between what is essential and what is preferred

• Information on salary range

• Inclusive benefits

• Remote and flexible work options

• Accessibility and accommodations

• Jargon and metaphors

• Plain language

• Representative imagery

• Readability

This list is not exhaustive, but for me it’s a good starting point to assess the adverts and propose changes that make job ads more inclusive and appealing to a wider range of candidates.

What would you add to this list that could help to verify the job ad inclusivity?
