Case Study: Nevada County achieves a more diverse candidate pipeline and 3x faster time-to-fill with Textio

Nevada County reaches more candidates and diversifies their talent pipeline with Textio

Nevada Country, a local government team in the Sierra Nevada region, faced a talent pipeline challenge: their community is 92% white and traditional, verbose job descriptions were limiting diverse applicant flow. They turned to Textio’s augmented writing platform to help rewrite job posts and address unintentional exclusionary language while improving candidate engagement and recruiting workflows.

Textio worked with Nevada Country to templatize and tighten job postings—adopting a concise four-paragraph format, training HR across 25 departments, and pairing language changes with process improvements. The result: more engaging posts that reach broader candidate pools, an average time-to-fill of 45 days (nearly three times faster than the typical government average of ~130 days), 20+ Textio U certifications on the team, and recognition as a two-time Textio Leadership Award winner.
