Ehsan's Growth Take
Textio proved something most people doubted: the specific words in a job posting measurably affect who applies. Swapping "competitive" for "collaborative" can shift gender ratios 15-20%. That's not opinion — it's their dataset of millions of job posts. For companies serious about diversity, it's the highest-ROI DE&I spend.
