RECITE ME SECTORS

Inclusive Recruitment

Everyone should have the opportunity to find their dream job. Discover hidden talent and recruit from a larger talent pool by providing assistive technology. Support your potential candidates who may be disabled, visually impaired or who speak English as a second language, with tools to use your website effectively.

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.

Why Should You Support Candidates Online?

Enhanced User Experience

Assistive technology allows users to overcome barriers, allowing them to digest online content in a way that works for them.

Increased Talent Pool

Creating an accessible website will attract and support 20% of the population.

Create Equal Opportunities

Providing an inclusive online experience creates a level playing field to enable everyone to express their talents.

Let us show you how easy it can be.

Millions of recruitment webpages made accessible through the use of assistive technology

Website accessibility and inclusion factors have never been more important in the careers and employment sector, as job searches and recruitment drives are increasingly taking place online.

In recent years we have witnessed a surge in recruitment companies and in-house talent teams using our assistive technology to create inclusive candidate journeys.

“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.”

“‘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.”
