Traditionally candidates with a disability have been difficult for organisations to connect with - leaving a pool of significant talent largely untapped. There is clear evidence that those organisations which do find a way to access diverse candidates, such as those with a disability, build stronger, more productive workforces.

Not only does the DEAS provide access to these untapped skilled workers – we also provide the additional supports to ensure seamless transition.

DEAS provides you with:

• identification, development and promotion of a diverse pool of candidates with a disability who are suitable for your range of vacancies
• placement and post-placement support for successful candidates
• employee retention assistance in situations where a person with a disability is at risk of losing their employment

what does that mean for you:

• free access to candidates with a disability that match your hiring need - whatever the role
• access to a largely untapped pool of talent
• access to candidates who are, anecdotally, 20% more likely to stay in their role than people without a disability – and who help to build an inclusive, engaged workforce which will gain increased productivity through unique skills, capabilities and diversity of thought
• advice and support through the recruitment process, including support with workplace adjustments where necessary, advice about funding and appropriate wage subsidies, etc
