What the accessibility score measures //

Every careers website on the grid is tested with Google Lighthouse on mobile and desktop. The accessibility category checks things candidates rely on every day: contrast ratios for readability, tap target sizing for mobile navigation, alt text and ARIA attributes for assistive technology, keyboard navigation support and semantic HTML structure. Each device is scored out of 100, so the accessibility column is out of 200.

A score of 200 means a careers website passed every automated accessibility check on both devices. Automated testing is a strong foundation, and the leaders below have built on it.

Why accessibility matters in hiring //

In our Accessibility GP post, we put it simply: speed might get you on the grid, but accessibility gets you across the finish line. 1 in 6 people globally live with a disability, and an inaccessible careers website can mean a missed opportunity for the candidate and for the employer.

4 of the top 10 careers websites on the leaderboard scored a perfect 200 for accessibility. Across the whole grid, 57 of 101 careers websites scored 190 or more, with an average accessibility score of 189.1 out of 200.
