Inclusive Recruitment Practices

DFP is committed to inclusive hiring practices that ensure equitable access for candidates with disability and those who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Australians.

As a certified Disability Confident Recruiter, DFP proactively engages with candidates to understand and accommodate individual needs via a candidate’s preferred contact method, considering and offering reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. We have extensive experience recruiting for Affirmative Measure – Disability and under the RecruitAbility Scheme in Federal Government.

We appreciate the cultural sensitivities associated with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates and their experience undergoing a rigorous selection process. We partner with community organisations and our Account Teams are trained  to provide culturally safe assessment environments, including the presence of Indigenous representatives during yarning circles – an alternative to the traditional interview. These practices are aligned with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander careers under Affirmative Measure, and have been successfully implemented across Federal Government campaigns.
