The ‘Entry-Level’ Gatekeeper: Auditing Job Descriptions with Textstat
The article shows how HR teams can use the open‑source Python library Textstat to calculate the Gunning Fog Index and automatically flag overly complex job descriptions. A simple function returns a readability score and a verdict that categorises listings as accessible, borderline, or a “gatekeeper” that deters entry‑level talent. Sample code demonstrates the tool on a jargon‑heavy description (score 30.4) versus a plain‑language one (score 8.2). The approach aims to make hiring language more inclusive and improve candidate outreach.
