What is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

A landmark U.S. civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, and government services.

Why it matters in hiring

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 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.
