Getting involved in projects that positively impact our community is not just part of our vision statement; it's who we are and what drives us every day. So, when we were asked by the Field.jobs to help them disrupt the employment space, we couldn’t wait to get involved.     With a 30% employment gap between people with and without disability, there was a real opportunity to build an accessible job platform that had the potential to transform the industry.     One that enabled candidates to control their personal brand and assist in finding meaningful roles or careers without the misconceptions of recruiters from the more traditional formats.     The solution also needed to provide employers with a platform that removes barriers and equips them to hire more inclusively, empowering them to unlock incredible talent across all industries and levels of experience.     Built on OutSystems, the site is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG) Level AA compliant. It was subject to rigorous testing to ensure it's optimised for screen readers and other assistance devices.    Thanks to the amazing effort of everyone involved, it won the 2023 annual CRN Australia award for customer experience not long after the site went live.    It's amazing to know that what started as an idea is now a platform thousands of people use to find jobs and hire talent nationwide. Below is a glimpse of the journey. 👇     #kiandra #thefield #softwaredevelopment #accessibility #equalityapplieshere
