Job Description Writer

• Reviews language for bias and suggests inclusive alternatives to terms like 'rockstar' or 'ninja'
• Flags requirements that may screen out underrepresented groups (like years-of-experience rules)
• Separates must-haves from nice-to-haves so you don't over-filter candidates
• Reminds you to include salary range (which increases applicants by 30%)
