AI-Powered Inclusive Recruitment
Blackbook AI partnered with theField.jobs to design an AI-powered tool that guides hiring managers toward inclusive, disability-friendly language throughout the recruitment process.
Client Context
theField found that hiring managers and employers were concerned about using incorrect terminology and lacked confidence in modern inclusive language. The challenge was to design a tool that could integrate directly into their existing job board, guiding employers toward inclusive, disability-friendly language throughout the recruitment process without disrupting the flow of writing a job description.
The Challenge
The existing job board offered no support for inclusive language, leaving several gaps:
- Hiring managers and employers lacked confidence in using inclusive, disability-friendly language
- Concern over incorrect terminology created hesitation when writing job descriptions
- No existing tool integrated directly into the job board to support inclusive language use
- Any solution needed to guide language choices without disrupting the natural flow of writing a job description
The Solution
Blackbook AI designed an AI-powered inclusivity tool that sits directly within the job board interface:
- Built the tool on Natural Language Processing to assess job description text in context
- Surfaced real-time improvement suggestions alongside educational insights, rather than flagging issues in isolation
- Designed the interface to guide and inform, helping hiring managers build their understanding of best practices over time
- Delivered high-fidelity wireframes to bring the proposed experience to life for stakeholders
The Outcome
- Confidence in Inclusive Language:
Hiring managers gained a reliable way to choose respectful, disability-friendly terminology without second-guessing themselves
- Guided, Not Interrupted, Workflow:
Suggestions appeared in context within the job board, keeping employers in the flow of writing rather than pulling them out of it
- Ongoing Best-Practice Learning:
Educational insights alongside each suggestion helped hiring managers build lasting understanding, not just one-off corrections
- Accessible Job Descriptions by Default:
Writing accessible, engaging job descriptions for candidates with disabilities became a natural part of the process, not an additional step outside of it
