At Sigmar Recruitment, we are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all candidates, clients, and website users. We believe that everyone should have equal access to employment opportunities, regardless of ability.
We actively work to ensure that our recruitment processes, website, and digital services are accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Our goal is to create a welcoming, barrier-free experience that enables all individuals to engage fully with our services.
Compliance Status
We aim to meet the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2, Level AA, the internationally recognised standard for digital accessibility.
Our website is currently partially conformant with these standards. While we strive for full compliance, accessibility is an ongoing process, and we continue to identify and address areas for improvement.
Our approach reflects best practice under Irish and EU accessibility frameworks, including the European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020, the forthcoming European Accessibility Act, and our obligations under the Disability Act 2005 and the Equal Status Acts 2000–2018.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented a range of features to improve accessibility and usability across our website and digital services, including:
- Keyboard navigation to support users who cannot use a mouse
- Clear and consistent heading structures to improve navigation and screen reader usability
- Alternative text (alt-text) for images, including job-related visuals
- Accessible forms with appropriate labels and instructions
- Responsive design for use across devices and screen sizes
- Sufficient colour contrast to support readability
- Ongoing testing using accessibility tools and screen readers
We continue to integrate accessibility into our design, development, and content processes.
Non-Accessible Content
Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible. We are working to address the following known limitations:
Known limitations:
- Legacy PDF documents that may not be fully optimised for screen readers
- Certain third-party integrations (e.g. scheduling tools, embedded maps) where accessibility is outside our direct control
- Older video content that may not yet include captions or transcripts
- Specific legacy application forms that may require further enhancement for assistive technologies
We are actively working with internal teams and external providers to improve these areas.
