Our Brief

Michael Page is calling on the recruitment industry to do more to help people with disabilities to get into work. This follows a survey of over 1,00 UK business leaders which highlighted that almost three-quarters (74%) feel that there are barriers to hiring people with disabilities. To do this, Michael Page needed to provide accessibility tools online to enable everyone to read and understand job advertisements and applications.

Our Solution

Job seekers can access the Recite Me toolbar in action in 8 markets on the Michael Page and Page Personnel websites to support those with additional needs online. Recite Me assistive technology provides a range of tools, this includes 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.

“For the past six months, we’ve seen job vacancies skyrocket, with many suggesting that the market is ‘candidate short’. But the fact of the matter is that there are hundreds of thousands of disabled or neurodiverse candidates who are unable to access roles due to inaccessible recruitment processes. “With most job searches taking place online, the Recite Me toolbar opens the door to diverse talent to grant everyone access to their dream career, increasing the number of candidates applying for roles. “At PageGroup, we are determined to create change. Whether that’s the industry-leading work our award-winning DE&I team does internally, the support we give our clients through our DE&I Client Solutions team or our new accessibility resources for businesses across the country - this is a priority that runs through the very core of our business.”
