Honest question:
> Software Engineer (all genders)
What is the significance of specifying genders? Why would male or female make a difference?
- b-mmxx 4y agoWe can start with the fact that German nouns (e.g. job titles) have a grammatical gender. Due to that offers included "m/f" in the past. Since this[0] ruling companies prefer to be safe. So in short: legal safety and following the German law [1]. That's why German based companies include "all genders" or "m/f/d" in their job listings.
