Inclusive Recruitment Benchmark

Recruiters today face real pressure to demonstrate their commitment to accessibility, fairness, and inclusion. Disabled candidates want more than promises. They want to see that employers are serious about inclusion and ready to remove barriers in hiring.

That’s where the Inclusive Recruitment Benchmark (IRB) helps. It gives your organisation independent recognition, practical feedback, and a visible badge that shows your genuine commitment to disability inclusion.

You’ll complete a short self-assessment across 8 key pillars of inclusive recruitment, share evidence such as job ads or policies, and get a clear score with a tailored feedback report. You’ll also earn an award level that reflects your progress from Foundation to Early Steps, to Gold for leading practice and innovation.

Participating helps you strengthen your Disability Confident status, build trust with disabled candidates, and demonstrate leadership in accessible hiring. You’ll also be publicly recognised on Disability Jobsite as an Inclusive Recruiter, with PR support across our network of diversity job boards.
