Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: February 20, 2026
Our Commitment to Accessibility
PickTalent is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.
1. Accessibility Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines are the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility and explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.
Our website is designed with the following principles in mind:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
- Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
- Understandable: Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
- Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
2. Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features:
Keyboard Navigation
Full keyboard accessibility with visible focus indicators.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Proper semantic HTML and ARIA labels for screen readers.
Colour Contrast
Sufficient colour contrast ratios throughout the site.
Text Resizing
Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality.
Skip Links
"Skip to main content" links at the top of each page.
Alternative Text
Descriptive alt text for all meaningful images.
3. Accessibility Widget
We provide an accessibility widget that allows users to customise their experience. The widget includes options to:
- Adjust font size
- Change colour contrast (high contrast mode)
- Pause animations
- Enable dyslexia-friendly font
- Highlight links
- Magnify content
You can access the accessibility widget by clicking the accessibility icon (♿) in the bottom right corner of any page.
4. Known Limitations
While we strive to make all pages and content fully accessible, some parts of our website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Known limitations include:
- Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible
- Third-party content (e.g., employer websites linked from job ads) may not be accessible
- Some complex data tables may be difficult to navigate with screen readers
- Some video content may lack captions (we are working to add captions to all new video content)
We are actively working to address these limitations and improve our accessibility compliance.
5. Alternative Formats
If you need any information from our website in an alternative format (such as large print, braille, or audio), please contact us. We will work with you to provide the information you need in a format that works for you.
We can provide:
- Large print documents
- Plain text versions of content
- Audio recordings of important information
- Email communication instead of web forms
6. Testing and Monitoring
We regularly test our website for accessibility using:
- Automated accessibility testing tools
- Manual testing by our development team
- User testing with people with disabilities
- Periodic third-party accessibility audits
We aim to conduct a full accessibility audit annually and address any identified issues promptly.
