Does it make the hiring decision?

Locations: California
Employee count: 40

Result

8 issue(s) found (3 high).

HIGH "US citizens only" restricts applicants by citizenship or immigration status. The DOJ Immigrant and Employee Rights Section has settled cases over postings like this. ("Join our young, energetic team! US citizens only.")Fix: Ask instead: "Are you legally authorized to work in the US?" and "Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship?" Keep a citizenship requirement only if a law, regulation, or government contract requires it, and say which.
HIGH Asking for "salary history" is banned in many states and cities (e.g. CA, NY, NJ, IL, MA, CO, WA, VA) and anchors offers to past pay. ("Please include your salary history with your application.")Fix: Remove it. If you want to check fit, ask for expected compensation instead, and publish your range.
HIGH No pay range found, and pay-transparency laws apply in: California.Fix: Add a good-faith salary or hourly range (minimum and maximum, not open-ended). Also check each law's extra items, e.g. a benefits description (none here).
MEDIUM "young, energetic team" signals an age preference. The ADEA protects applicants 40 and older. ("Join our young, energetic team! US citizens only.")Fix: Describe the work and the skills it needs, not the age or career stage of the person. State a MINIMUM experience if you need one, never a maximum, and drop graduation-year requirements.
MEDIUM "Native English speaker" is a proxy for national origin, which Title VII protects. ("- Native English speaker")Fix: Write the level you actually need: "fluent professional English (written and spoken)" or "able to present to customers in English".
MEDIUM 9 must-have requirements. Long must-have lists deter qualified applicants, especially women and career changers, who tend to apply only when they meet every item.Fix: Cut to the 3-5 that truly gate the job. Each must-have should pass: would I turn down a strong candidate missing only this? Move the rest to "Nice to have".
LOW "energetic" is often read as code for "young". ("Join our young, energetic team! US citizens only.")Fix: Name the behaviour you need instead, e.g. "comfortable owning several projects at once" or "moves quickly on ambiguous problems".
LOW "Rockstar" is masculine-coded jargon that measurably reduces applications from women. ("Rockstar Full Stack Developer")Fix: Say what the person will do: "senior engineer who owns the payments service end to end".
