Our Brief

16 million people in the UK have some form of disability which may lead to obstacles when applying for jobs online.

To ensure all web visitors can access career opportunities, Volkswagen wanted to fly the flag and provide digital tools that enable everyone to use a website in the way that works for them, tailored to provide the biggest selection of tools possible.

Our Solution

Volkswagen Financial Services Careers has launched accessibility and language support on their website to enable all web visitors to access Volkswagen Finance job opportunities easily and barrier-free.

Website visitors can customise their digital experience through a range of features such as text-to-speech functionality, fully customisable styling features, reading aids, and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices.

A recent report has concluded that VW website visitors have viewed an average of 7.15 pages which compares favorably with an internet average of 2.8 pages per visit. The work so far has found that nearly 500 pages on the Volkswagen Financial Services Careers website have been reviewed using the Recite Me toolbar.

“More than ever, it is vital that everyone can have equality in the workplace and has access to the information they need to make informed career choices and create opportunities for themselves. It’s a customised experience that we hope will increase the diversity of our applicants to enhance our skill sets and open up a wider talent pool that supports our values of equal opportunities in the workplace.”
