Openreach | Firm hopes to attract more female candidates with 'language review'

Telecommunications company Openreach is set to shine a light on bias language used in job adverts, after the firm discovered that gender biased language discourages as many as one in two female candidates from applying.

In a release published by the company, Openreach shared that it hopes its new linguistic approach will help it meet a commitment to recruit a minimum of 20% female candidates into new positions in 2021.
