What is Clovers?
Clovers Inclusive Job Language Optimizer is a Chrome browser extension dedicated to promoting linguistic inclusivity throughout the entire recruitment process. As users draft job descriptions, candidate communication emails, LinkedIn InMails, and other materials, the tool provides real-time language analysis and optimization suggestions. Grounded in extensive empirical research and validated through thousands of surveys, it accurately identifies words that may harbor implicit biases and offers dynamic inclusivity scores displayed via green/red color gradients. With one-click hover functionality to view scientifically vetted alternative terms, the extension covers multiple dimensions—including gender, race, ethnicity, physical ability, veteran status, and sexual minorities—helping organizations build a fairer, more appealing employer brand.
Key features
Real-Time Bias Intervention: In any web-based writing context—whether in ATS systems, Google Docs, email clients, or social media—the tool automatically scans and highlights potentially exclusionary language, offering scientifically validated suggestions for inclusive alternatives.
Dynamic Inclusivity Scoring System: Generates an initial inclusivity score for each text segment, which updates in real time as edits are made. The system uses varying shades of green (inclusive terms) and red (problematic terms) to provide an intuitive visual cue, helping recruiters quickly identify and refine language risks.
