Most companies combine online and offline recruiting practices, but the efficiencies gained from technological practices can also impose limitations by unknowingly discouraging qualified candidates, particularly those with disabilities.
Cornell University research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy has identified approaches to designing employer career web pages that can significantly heighten the likelihood of a company’s success in attracting job seekers with disabilities and encouraging them to apply for open positions.
Join Susanne Bruyère from the Cornell ILR School for a close look at this research and what it means for employers as well as people with disabilities. Dr. Bruyère will also offer insights for employers on how to recruit applicants with disabilities, fine-tune their hiring processes, and better understand how a person with a disability may choose to self-identify to potential employers.
