A6 Most job descriptions ask for unnecessary skills - and we know disabled people are unlikely to apply if they don't meet 100% of the criteria. Job descriptions should be more realistic (and maybe disabled people should stop underestimating themselves!) #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong

A5 AI is a mixed blessing. It has huge positive possibilities in terms of improving accessibility for disabled people, for example through assistive tech. However, if involved in the assessment process, there is a big risk of inherent bias. #AXSChat #InclusiveEmployment #WeAreBillionStrong

A4 For Evenbreak, partnerships with local organizations in other countries means that our candidates have access to appropriate resources, and the people the organizations support can be signposted to Evenbreak. A win/win! #AXSChat #InclusiveEmployment #WeAreBillionStrong

A4 Effective partnerships with local organisations is vital in ensuring that disabled people, wherever they live, receive a service that works for them. Local people will understand the cultural nuances that outside people just won't know about. #AXSChat #InclusiveEmployment #WeAreBillionStrong

A3 I don't think we can over-estimate the importance of lived experience in creating an inclusive recruitment process, and ensuring accessibility throughout. The process needs to work for a wide range of impairments #AXSChat #InclusiveEmployment #WeAreBillionStrong

A2 It's really important that global job boards don't just account for language translation, but also the culture in each country with regard to disability. Approaches vary greatly from country to country #AXSChat #InclusiveEmployment

A1 Employers need to ensure that disabled candidates are able to request any adjustments/accommodations they may need at every stage in the recruitment process, without feeling they may be disadvantaged in any way #AXSChat #InclusiveEmployment

"If you're a disabled person, the fact that your work history doesn't look impressive doesn't mean you're not an impressive candidate. It means you've not been given the opportunity." Powerful insights on breaking employment barriers from Evenbreak on #axschat
