Over a Decade of Disability Confident Recruiter Recognition
DFP is the first Organisation in Australia to become a Disability Confident Recruiter.
At DFP, we place great emphasis on inclusion and accessibility by providing opportunities for all people. Under the expert guidance of the Australian Disability Network (AusDN), in 2016 DFP took part in one of AND’s flagship programs, Disability Confident Recruiter (DCR). Our commitment to the program led to DFP becoming the first organisation in Australia to become a Disability Confident Recruiter.
We believe that talent knows no boundaries. By removing barriers in the recruitment process, we ensure fair access to employment for the 2.1 million Australians of working age living with a disability.
Why Partner with a Disability Confident Recruiter?
Partnering with a DCR agency gives your organisation access to a wider, more diverse talent pool. Research shows that inclusive workplaces are not only more innovative but also see higher retention rates.
Benefits of partnering with a Disability Confident Recruiter include:
Talent Access: People with disability are often overlooked despite possessing highly in-demand skills. We make every interaction with DFP positive and easy. Having achieved DCR enables our team, systems and processes to provide opportunities for candidates to access and participate equitably in the recruitment process.
Higher Retention: Employees with disability often have higher retention rates and fewer scheduled absences.
Enhanced Reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to diversity strengthens your employer brand. DFP can consult with clients regarding recruitment of candidates with disability.
