@NonGradsWelcome Now here’s a thing. As you know, we don’t stipulate any sort of degree requirement for our roles (and we ALWAYS #ShowTheSalary). As part of our commitment to modelling best practice in recruitment we’re trialling http://beapplied.com  for our next recruitment.

So I’ve been playing around with it today, trying out our job descriptions to see what the Applied algorithm makes of them. And one of the things it makes of them is that the ‘reading burden’ of the language we use is tagged as ‘graduate.’ Equivalent to the Harvard Law Review!

Now, I don’t for one moment think that you have to be a graduate to be able to read or comprehend at that level. And it’s a senior role so, y’know. But that has stopped me in my tracks & made me think a LOT about how ...

... while taking the explicit actions are critically important, tackling even something as implicit as the reading burden is equally so.

(I’m also now self-assessing every Tweet I’ve written in this thread and criticising myself for being way too wordy )
