Despite growing commitments to diversity, many companies still unintentionally exclude neurodivergent and disabled candidates with inaccessible career sites and application processes. inploi, a leading provider of people-first hiring technology, is taking action to help businesses bridge this gap.
Ensuring access for all candidates
inploi’s Access Scan tool empowers organisations to assess, optimise, and maintain accessible career sites, ensuring compliance with ADA, WCAG, and the UK Equality Act 2010. By providing real-time insights, companies can remove barriers, enhance candidate engagement, and build truly inclusive hiring journeys.
“Diversity starts with accessibility. If your hiring process isn’t built to accommodate all candidates - including neurodivergent talent - you’re missing out on a huge segment of the workforce,” says Matthew de la Hey, CEO and Co-founder of inploi. “As we celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re encouraging businesses to take action by ensuring their career sites are welcoming to everyone.”
The business case for accessibility
- Around 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent
- Legal & Financial Risks: Failure to meet WCAG and ADA standards could result in regulatory fines.
- Employer Brand & Talent Attraction: Companies with inclusive hiring processes attract top talent and build stronger workforces.
inploi’s suite of accessibility solutions helps businesses automate compliance, track candidate engagement, and create seamless hiring experiences. The company works with major brands like Compass Group, GAIL’s, and PureGym, ensuring their recruitment journeys are equitable, compliant, and optimised for all applicants.
Specifically, inploi’s accessibility widget automatically adapts the digital environment to the diverse needs of job seekers by offering features like screen reader compatibility, dynamic text adjustments, and customisable colour contrasts. By scanning for and remediating barriers in real-time, this AI-driven technology helps companies deliver a seamless, user-friendly experience which ensures that candidates of all abilities can navigate job postings, application forms, and other key steps with confidence - making the hiring process more inclusive, and efficient for everyone.
