Guidebook on accessibility of online job application and recruitment systems
In this issue
Over 1 billion people in the world live with a disability, 80 per cent of whom are of working age. Yet, persons with disabilities are often at risk of discrimination and socio-economic exclusion, including in today’s digital society.
This Guidebook has been developed to help employers understand the barriers that persons with disabilities may face when applying for a job online, and the accessibility and usability requirements that job portals and digital tools used in recruitment processes should meet to support the overarching goal of promoting inclusive employment.
To complement the guidebook, the authors have also created a self-paced e-learning course entitled ‘Inclusive employment: How to ensure that online job applications and recruitment systems are accessible to all’ designed for all stakeholders.
