Why We Built This

The challenges we're addressing

Current Challenges

  • Many highly skilled PWD candidates never reach interviews because of filtering bias.
  • There is insufficient structured data linking accessibility needs to job requirements.

Our Solution

  • WFH at flexible roles are increasing — perfect opportunity to widen inclusion.
  • Employers need lightweight tools to verify & manage inclusive hiring without heavy HR software.
