Develop Diverse Reviews & Product Details

Develop Diverse has really helped us shift how we think and write - not just in terms of gendered language (which we expected), but in being more inclusive across age, neurodiversity, ability, and more. It’s been a surprisingly effective way to bring the broader DEI conversation into something tangible and actionable.

The implementation process was super smooth and quick, mostly because the tool is quite simple to use in itself. It’s intuitive from the start, and the visual feedback makes it really easy to understand where and how you can improve.

It makes collaboration smoother. We could easily show the value to the more skeptical crowd - having hiring managers see the suggestions in real time made a big difference. The suggestions themselves are smart and make sense in the context of the whole sentence, which helps avoid that awkward “find and replace” feel.

While the tool helps promote our value of being kind, the fact that it’s kind of playful (you can aim for that perfect score!) made it easier for people to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We work in an industry with a lot of jargon and role-specific language that needs to stay in our job posts as it relates to our products. While we can whitelist certain terms, it would be a huge plus if the tool could learn to recognize context - like when a word should be flagged and when it’s just part of how we talk about the work. A bit more adaptability there would make a great tool even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The employer branding text-editor is mostly just a text editor, a few more bells and whistles could be added here to help on that side of the TA stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is still limited to support three languages; English, Danish, and Swedish - which limits the utilization of the tool in some of our local markets. Also the platform is not directly integrated with our ATS, which would enhance the user experience. However, we do know that DD is working on an integration! Can't wait for it!

The Develop Diverse Inclusivity Editor is a powerful tool that brings the DEI agenda to life in a meaningful, actionable way. This editor doesn’t just check boxes or offer surface-level changes; it dives deep into language to guide users toward more inclusive communication.

One of the standout features is its ability to detect gendered, ageist, or culturally biased language and suggest inclusive alternatives in real-time. This is incredibly valuable for anyone writing job descriptions, team announcements, or even marketing materials. By using the editor, I became more mindful of the subtle biases in language and became more aware of my communication style. It’s like having a DEI expert by your side, providing on-the-spot education that helps refine your vocabulary in alignment with diversity goals.

Beyond the editor's practical utility, I really appreciate how it empowers everyone in an organization to engage with the DEI mission. It's a proactive approach that promotes change from within, cultivating an environment where inclusivity is built into the foundation of everyday interactions. The Develop Diverse Inclusivity Editor goes beyond compliance and offers a genuine path to understanding and embodying DEI values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm excited about how the Develop Diverse Inclusivity Editor will develop and become more agile and AI-based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Develop Diverse is a very intuitive program that quickly and effectively raises awareness and corrects linguistic biases that one may not be aware of. It provides suggestions at both word and sentence level and supports you in not only correcting but also learning when ones language includes and excludes. This is effective and a central tool for me and my team, as it has saved a lot of time by quickly identifying our own linguistic biases and helping to correct them.

For now we have the basis which is simple but I am looking forward to implementing the program as an Add in to microsoft word as this seems as an even more simple way to use the program in ones everyday work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpfull thing is that it is very clear that it is an amercian/english AI system, and that the language comes from this. When using it on danish post you will often notice that the sentence suggestions is directly translated from english to dansih, and quite often this means that the sentences is sunding a bit wierd. Not that they are wrong but the tone and the words chosen somethimes does not fit the meaning, which i belive comes down to the translation.

Further a small frustraion is when it misinterps the use of the meaning. Forexample the word 'leder' which means both 'search' and 'manager' in danish. If you make the sentence 'Are you serching for xxxxx / leder du efter xxx' then it will mark it as not inclusive. This is an issue in my oppinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You are informed about why a certain word is excluding, and whom it excludes and you receive several words to use instead - especially the new Word plugin makes the process easy for finetuning job ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The alternative sentences are too complex.

I sometimes miss obvious alternative words.

But I can work around that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Develop Diverse has supported us as an organization in the desire to bring the DEI agenda down to a concrete plan. This has resulted in an increased focus on inclusive language as well as the setup of both job advertisements and internal documents, e.g., our employee handbook. It is easy to use and also functions for us as a tool to continuously keep our focus on inclusive language and choices as well as exclusions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
