What is Accessibility?

The design of workplaces, tools, policies, and digital systems so that people with disabilities, chronic conditions, or other differences can participate fully without facing unnecessary barriers.

Why it matters in hiring

Accessibility comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
