Understanding the problem

Employees with disabilities are often perceived as unprofitable and as needing additional resources and requiring longer adjustment periods.
Job seeking or recruitment is incredibly complex and time-consuming.
Due to their disabilities, some job seekers have difficulty dealing with employers who refuse to hire them.

Background

We were inspired to create this project after seeing a girl in the news who introduced herself as someone who had lost her job because of covid-19, and details how difficult it was for her to find a new job.

“I miss to work with manager and employees who are kind to me, that's makes me happy”

All this led us to research and realize what the workplace means for people with disabilities and what their value is to the Israeli economy and society.

Research

The research is based on quality interviews with job candidates with disabilities and employers.
Collaborating with Akim to understand the barriers and difficulties faced by people with disabilities in their journey to get a job.

Key Findings

As a result of limited interaction, employers have difficulty understanding what to expect when working with people with disabilities.

Candidates may suffer from rejection from employers and unable to cope with feelings of failure and frustration.

Reflection and Key Takeaways

The project gave me the opportunity to put my design skills to good use by creating a user experience that would benefit both people with disabilities and employers who wish to hire people with disabilities or are required to do so by law.

Challenges:

Overcoming stereotypes, fears by taking into consideration user feelings and needs.
Adapt the interface to all users easily without compromising the user experience.
Working smart, using coarse filtering allows for more accurate results when multiple filters are layered on top of each other much simpler for the end-user as well as the programmer.
