So much of this technology perpetuates the biases they're intended to fix.

We put some of our job postings through one of these, and it flagged too many 'masculine' words, like 'analyze', 'leadership', and 'data'. Sorry women, time get back in the kitchen and nurture.



Got a source for that? Or an/the online tool you used? I'd love to try it


Found a hilarious blog entry regarding OP's comment. "Analyze", for one, is unnecessarily masculine in job postings, they say, and then present their tool to alleviate the problem: the Text Analyzer.

Or maybe they want to help people write specifically masculine job postings?
