About This Tutorial
Auditing job descriptions to prevent gatekeeping language is crucial for attracting talented candidates. The Gunning Fog Index, available in the Textstat library for Python, estimates the number of years of formal education needed to comprehend a text. This index is particularly useful for entry-level job listings, as it helps identify overly complex language that may deter capable job seekers. By automating the process of capturing gatekeeping language, hiring managers can create accessible job descriptions that accurately reflect the required skills and experience.
