Inclusive Recruitment

ā€œA job for a person with disability isnā€™t just about money. Itā€™s a sign of independence and a way to let the world know weā€™re not a burden on society, but an asset.ā€

People power your organisation

Donā€™t limit your choices to find the right people. 2.1 million Australians of working age are people with disability, and only 48% of those have employment., compared to 80% of working-aged people without disability. The benefits of hiring a person with disability are tangible. Could your workplace recruitment process possibly be excluding future valuable employees?

An untapped talent pool 

Creating a diverse workforce creates loyalty and commitment in your workforce. A person with disability stays with a company 28% longer on average than an employee without disability. 90% of employees with disability record equal or greater productivity than other workers, and 86% have an equal or better attendance record. 

Staff diversity encourages customer diversity. Diverse staff helps your business understand disability needs and can promote a competitive edge and growth in your market share. 

Your comprehensive review

Weā€™ll assess your full recruitment pipeline, from internal procedures and how a candidate will experience the recruitment process, to ongoing support of a person with disability once theyā€™re employed. Weā€™ll identify the barriers that a candidate might come across, and work on the unconscious bias that can sit behind decision-making and staff retention. 

Actionable ways forward

For our recommendations to be most impactful (and easy for you to put in place) weā€™ll show you ways to update your existing recruitment pipeline for a barrier-free process. 

Perhaps itā€™s becoming more aware about the way people with disability might view your job descriptions or advertising. Or understanding how a person with disability might experience interviews and onboarding. Or giving the recruitment or hiring team the confidence to welcome a person with disability into your organisation.

Youā€™ll be in a stronger position to find the best talent, and to push your business forward.
