Web Based Accessibility
Web sites and Web-based Application Tracking Systems (ATS), specifically related to recruiting, need to be accessible to all people. While most companies today suggest that all interested job seekers need to apply on-line, most Web site and ATS’s are not accessible.
On July 10, 2008, the OFCCP Applicant Tracking System directive stated in part:
“While some of these systems may be accessible to individuals with disabilities, others may be completely inaccessible or only partially accessible due to technological limitations. Irrespective of the level of accessibility of the online application system, federal contractors and subcontractors must ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans have an equal opportunity for employment.”
Lack of accessibility affects not only businesses, but more than 50 million Americans who need accessibility to compete, including our aging population and our Veterans.
As your business needs grow and your source of recruiting expands, Web-based accessibility will enable you to receive more talented applicants, provide equal opportunity for all, and increase your revenues.
