What’s a Digital Recruitment Review?
We test employers’ digital recruitment processes and record and evaluate the users experience and the technical barriers, from initial search to submitting an application.
Why is this important?
Recruitment today is often digital and not all websites, online job boards and digital tools are fully accessible to disabled people.
This has created a scenario where disabled jobseekers face not just attitudinal barriers, but digital barriers as well. A significant portion of employer sites, recruitment boards and online tools are not fully accessible to disabled people.
How do we do this?
We work with our Experience Network, which is a diverse pool of people with varying and different knowledge and experience of being a disabled person in employment, to test digital recruitment processes. This is carried out in conjunction with our web development partner, Cole AD, who record and evaluate the users experience and the technical barriers, from initial search to submitting an application.
How can the Review help employers?
We advise employers on how they can have efficient and cost effective recruitment processes that do not deter disabled applicants and applicants with long term health conditions. We provide a full bespoke report of our testers’ findings, along with key recommendations to make their digital recruitment process more accessible.
Through Apt, this is all fully funded for employers!
