Tip of the week: Remove (or define) business jargon in the hiring process


REASON: Industry or discipline specific terminology (i.e. jargon) test the candidate on their knowledge of jargon, not their skills or ability. Using specific (and unnecessary) terminology may put some highly qualified applicants at a disadvantage because they won’t clearly understand what you are saying, such as applicants from different but applicable industries, Veterans, and applicants that are coming from academic environments.
