How can I design advertisements so that they also appeal to women?

Women applying for jobs often behave differently to many men.

It is important to know that women

  • Tend not to apply if they do not meet ALL the listed requirements
  • Even if the advertisement says "would be desirable" or "knowledge would be an advantage", assume that they absolutely must meet this requirement
  • Respond negatively to required qualities such as "flexible", "able to work under pressure", "enthusiastic", "strong leadership qualities", "assertive", "highly committed", "strong negotiator", "persevering", and tend not to apply
  • Tend not to apply if an advertisement is very short and vaguely formulated, so that the area of activity and required qualifications remain unclear (though in that case men also often assume that a person is already earmarked for the position and that it is not worth applying)

What to do?

  • Think carefully about which qualifications are ABSOLUTELY necessary to carry out the required work, which qualifications can be learned quickly and which qualifications are not really essential at all.
  • Describe in as much detail as possible which activities an advertised position involves (and to what extent), the environment in which it is set, and what resources are already available to it.
  • Describe also the contextual environment of the planned activities/research – for example, areas of application (e.g. materials research: what can new materials be used for?) Basic biomedical research: what are the future applications?
  • When conducting job interviews, be aware that men and women often present themselves differently. Typical man, typical woman = typical prejudice, i.e. social stereotypes are known to be among the most common misconceptions. You should therefore set this aside and try to find out what competencies the applicants actually bring with them.

ADDITIONALLY, in some cases, you may want to think about the specific content of the advertised job so as to appeal, also and in particular, to women.

Gender-sensitive language

Gender-neutral phrasing means the equality of women and men in language. This makes women and men equally visible in language and means they feel spoken to as equals.

The Recruiting+ advertisement

Employers [...] are required to take suitable measures to provide people with disabilities with access to employment, to allow them to practise a trade or profession, to obtain promotion and to participate in initial and further training (Section 6 (1) and (1a) of the Austrian Employment of People with Disabilities Act (BEinstG)).

One registered disabled person must be employed for every 25 employees.

TU Wien would like to make it easier for people with disabilities to enter the labour market; the entire advertisement and application process for positions for people with disabilities is supported by the TU expert team RECRUITING+.

The advisory board will be happy to assist you with the entire process from advertising to onboarding. Arrange a consultation meeting by email.
