Case Study: DSB achieves more diverse, higher-volume applications with Develop Diverse

Increasing diversity starts with recruitment a DSB case study

DSB, a Danish state-owned transportation company with over 7,200 employees, faced a challenge in attracting a more diverse applicant pool, specifically more female and younger candidates, to better reflect Danish society. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Develop Diverse and used its inclusive writing software to eliminate biased language from their job advertisements.

By implementing Develop Diverse's tool, DSB was able to make their job postings more inclusive, which helped broaden their applicant pool. The measurable results included a 32% increase in applications per job posting and significant progress toward their diversity goals, with the share of women employees rising from 30% to 38%. Develop Diverse provided a data-driven approach that became integral to DSB's recruitment strategy.
