Our five step recruitment guide has been designed to help employers to match the right people with the right jobs, achieving positive outcomes for everyone.

This recruitment model guides employers through each step of the process, whether you are employing one person or planning a large recruitment exercise. The model has been used successfully by employers including Belfast City Council, Premier Inn and Queen’s University Belfast to recruit disabled employees.

Alison Long, Senior HR and OD Advisor, Belfast City Council said:

The disability organisations worked together to select the most suitable candidates for the programmes and provided both the participants and the Council with advice and support throughout the process.

If you would like to offer a recruitment opportunity to a disabled person or would like more information on how to recruit and retain more disabled staff please get in touch our Job Match Employment Engagement Officers Tommy Cairns Tel: 07970 753248 Email: TommyCairns@Disabilityaction.org or Michael Moore Tel: 07970 226903 Email: michaelmoore@disabilityaction.org.
