Agenda is a Screening Services provider that helps businesses streamline their recruitment processes, making them smoother, more efficient, and stress-free. In 2023, they took this a step further by teaming up with Recite Me to boost accessibility. This adoption has increased user engagement, surged job applications, and significantly reduced bounce rates on their platform.
A Commitment to Inclusive Hiring
Agenda Screening believes that accessibility should be at the heart of the recruitment process. Their mission is to ensure that all job seekers and employers can navigate their platform with ease, regardless of their abilities. By removing barriers for individuals who are neurodiverse, visually impaired, or who speak English as a second language, they are championing an inclusive hiring experience.
“Inclusivity is a core value for Agenda. By ensuring that job seekers, employers, and stakeholders of all abilities can easily navigate both our portal and our web resources, we are reinforcing our commitment to equal opportunities.”
Danielle Richardson, Product Manager, Agenda Screening Services
Enhancing User Engagement with the Recite Me Toolbar
Agenda Screening integrated the Recite Me Toolbar into its website to create a more accessible and user-friendly experience. This customisable tool empowers users by giving them greater control over how they interact with content.
With the Recite Me Toolbar, users can convert text to speech for easier reading, adjust font sizes and colour contrast for better visibility and translate content into multiple languages for better comprehension.
“We chose Recite Me because of its comprehensive accessibility tools, ease of integration, and positive reputation in the industry. Additionally, Recite Me’s compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and strong customer support reinforced our decision.”
Chris Withers, Managing Director, Agenda Screening Services
Since implementing the Recite Me Toolbar, Agenda has observed increased user engagement, with more time spent on their website and a reduction in bounce rates. Users are interacting more with job listings and application forms, and they have received positive feedback from individuals who previously faced accessibility challenges. Whilst they analyse long-term trends, early indicators suggest an increase in completed job applications due to improved accessibility.
Agenda has received encouraging feedback from users who appreciate the added accessibility options. Job seekers with dyslexia and visual impairments have specifically mentioned how the text-to-speech and colour contrast adjustments have made navigation easier. Additionally, multilingual users have found the translation features particularly helpful when browsing job opportunities.
“As someone proud and open about being neurodiverse, it’s fantastic to see tools like this being readily available to support inclusivity in the workplace.”
