<p class="MsoPlainText">That's some of the stuff *I* look for. But I also look for honesty, so if you don't have all those things yet, say "looking to build" that collaborative, open, diverse work environment<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">I could use some help. We will be looking to hire one or two OpenStack Operations Engineers soon, and I want to make sure that our postings are inclusive and attractive to current and future women of OpenStack. Does anyone have any
tips or reference job descriptions that might help me ensure that we are attracting great female candidates?<o:p></o:p></p>
