With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) now in force as of June 2025, UK public bodies, charities, and higher education institutions are facing increased responsibility to ensure their digital services comply with accessibility standards. This includes recruiters’ career sites and, combined with ongoing duties under the Equality Act 2010, the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), and participation in the Disability Confident Scheme, the expectation to deliver inclusive and accessible recruitment processes has never been greater.

Non-compliance may result in legal and reputational risk, legal repercussions, and the unintentional exclusion of diverse applicants. Career sites and ATS platforms that are not fully accessible may unintentionally exclude disabled candidates, restricting access to talent and breaching regulatory requirements.

Diversity Jobsite offers a trusted and inclusive solution. Our platform is designed to support accessible recruitment journeys, from job listing to application. We help employers publish job roles and provide guidance on inclusive language and effective engagement. Our reach into the disabled talent pool enables organisations to attract qualified candidates while actively demonstrating their commitment to disability inclusion.

Local authorities, charities, and universities can mitigate legal and business risk while enhancing their employer brand through accessible hiring practices.
