For any organisation looking to target the talents of disabled students first impressions across all touch points in the early stages really count. Every interface the student encounters, from your website and careers events to company representatives who will engage with the student, must consistently make them feel that you are inclusive of everyone, including those with disabilities.
Recruiting disabled talent: Employee experiences impact application choices
It has been found that 70% of people now look to reviews prior to making any career decisions * highlighting that young people trust reviews from their peers and like to read first-hand what it’s like to work at specific employers before they apply.
For employers looking to target disabled students this is key. Having publicly available employee stories should be a major part of their Disability Recruitment Strategy if they are to ensure that their organisation is being considered by the increasing talent pool of disabled applicants.
