How Can We Make Recruitment More Inclusive for Individuals with Disabilities?

1. Enlist the assistance and support of recruiting sources to provide meaningful employment opportunities to qualified individuals with disabilities. Formal briefing sessions should be held on company premises with representatives from recruiting sources.

2. Recruitment efforts at all schools should incorporate special efforts to reach students with disabilities. Engage in recruitment activities at educational institutions that participate in the training of individuals with disabilities.

3. Establish meaningful contacts with appropriate service organizations and vocational rehabilitation facilities for advice, technical assistance, and referral of potential employees.

4. Include individuals with disabilities when employees are pictured in consumer, promotional, or help-wanted advertising.

5. Send written notification of company policy to all subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers requesting appropriate action on their part.

6. Take positive steps to attract qualified individuals with disabilities not currently in the workforce who have requisite skills and can be recruited through affirmative action measures.

7. Consider applicants with known disabilities for all available positions for which they are qualified when the position applied for is unavailable.

Good thoughts! I think recruitment practices should aim towards building a diverse workforce and should be representative of people with disabilities, older workers, minorities, stay-at-home spouses, etc.
