Textio

Textio is an AI-powered writing tool designed for two specific HR use cases: writing job postings that attract diverse candidates and writing fair, effective performance reviews. It analyzes language for bias patterns, predicts how different candidate demographics will respond to specific phrasing, and suggests more inclusive alternatives. For performance feedback, it identifies biased language and vague phrases. Recruiting teams, HR leaders, and people managers use Textio to reduce unintended bias in the language of job postings and performance reviews. Research shows that specific words and phrases in job descriptions correlate with the demographics of who applies -- Textio identifies these patterns and suggests language that attracts a broader candidate pool. Performance review tools reduce the gap in how different employee groups are described. Textio's focus on measurable language impact on real-world outcomes distinguishes it from generic grammar tools. Its database of hiring outcomes connected to specific language patterns provides empirical grounding for its suggestions. For companies with diversity hiring goals, addressing language bias at the source -- in job postings and performance documentation -- is more effective than downstream efforts.
