FTSE 250 recruitment company, Michael Page is breaking down accessibility barriers using Recite Me assistive technology to help people with disabilities get into work.
The suite of customisable digital tools on the Michael Page website removes barriers for those with visual impairments, learning difficulties, and those who speak English as a second language, making it a seamless process for those searching and applying for jobs online.
Established in the UK in 1976, Michael Page has grown to become one of the world’s best-known and respected recruitment consultancies. Operating in 37 countries, Michael Page has taken responsibility for leading the way in providing inclusive recruitment to diversify talent pools across the globe.
PageGroup’s CEO, Nick Kirk, is paving the way for this change within the recruitment industry. Nick told us,
“It’s a sad reality that every day, businesses continue to lose out on valuable talent due to inaccessible recruitment processes. By making a few key adaptations, they can open job opportunities to a more diverse pool of eager and capable candidates who are ready and willing to work.”
Job seekers can access the Recite Me toolbar in action on the Michael Page and Page Personnel websites. The customisable tools on offer include screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customisable styling options, and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech.
Nick Kirk continued, “Recite Me plays a pivotal role in our commitment to providing candidates with a truly inclusive experience, helping them to kick off their job search in the best way and increasing the number of applications per job role.”
Over 5,000 organisations currently use Recite Me, this includes, Sharp & Carter, Six Degrees, Levyl, and KFC Careers.
