Recruitment
Barriers within the Recruitment Process are a Real-Life Problem
Researching a new career or applying for a job online, may not be an easy task for everyone as modern recruitment processes rely so heavily on digital technology. Many of the 14.1 million people in the UK who have a disability often encounter obstacles online when applying for jobs.
Only one in three job seekers think employers and recruiters make online job applications suitably accessible for disabled people. Providing support online can attract and support diverse candidates throughout the online recruitment journey.
