Our Brief

Diversity in Recruitment is breaking down barriers and helping companies to provide a fully inclusive recruitment process. To support this, they wanted to provide accessibility tools online to grant website visitors access to all online information and services.

Our Solution

Recite Me is now implemented on the Diversity in Recruitment website to allow all visitors to read and understand the information in a way that works best for them.

The assistive technology on the Diversity in Recruitment website supports those with disabilities, learning difficulties, and people who speak English as a second language. The toolbar has a range of features including text-to-speech functionality, multiple reading aids, styling features, and live translation tools with over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech.

“‘An in-accessible website should NEVER be the reason someone is unable to apply for a job. For so long we have designed websites to sell our services to clients, we are recruiting at very different times now and that requires a different approach. Your website is the shop door to your business, you should make it clear that everyone is welcome and make sure that door can be opened by everyone. For me, you can’t have a commitment to D & I if your recruitment services remain exclusively accessible to some candidates and closed to others.”
