Don’t expect every candidate to possess the same skills during interviews.
Test the candidates how they’ll be tested in their jobs.
Treat candidates like humans.
I would say those rules would help everyone, no matter what they are.
With this i disagree:
Don’t be so black and white with job descriptions.
I want to know exactly what they are looking for.
Partly so i can avoid companies that require some things that i dont intend to learn.
Partly because the alternative is fuzziness, subjectiveness and "good will" of the interviewer - which is a playground for biases and discrimination.
I am a creative, passionate, full stack web developer. I love technology! Currently I'm really into Node & React but I am very experienced in PHP, Drupal 8, accessibility, CI/CD #WomenWhoCode
I can understand that you want to know exactly who you are looking for but you have to also be realistic here. I've seen job descriptions that list every language and skill going. If you have a few things that are necessary then yes put them down, but don't put down every nice to have because that will put off people who might pick up those few things on the job really quickly.

Yeah, clear label for "bonus points" is necessary.
Its often easy to misinterpret demands from wishful thinking ;)
