We are committed to ensuring that your onlyfy Application Manager is optimally designed to meet the standards of accessibility legislation. Particularly with regard to the upcoming Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG), which will take effect in June 2025, we are ensuring that your recruitment processes are future-ready.
TÜV-certified accessibility for your applicants
Our primary goal is to guarantee optimal accessibility for all users while providing a modern candidate experience. This directly benefits your recruitment efforts: you expand your potential target audience, increase the number of applications, and position yourself as a modern, inclusive employer.
We firmly believe that accessibility is essential for ensuring equal opportunities for all applicants. Therefore, we not only adhere to legal regulations but have also voluntarily undergone TÜV Süd‘s accessibility certification for our optimized application forms, confirming our compliance with the highest accessibility standards.
Most functions in the application process will be fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level AA by the end of summer.
We are achieving this through various means, including:
- Ensuring compatibility with screen readers
- Facilitating keyboard navigation for accessible access
- Utilizing clear, high-contrast colours and easily readable fonts to enhance readability
These measures apply to all touchpoints for your applicants, including:
- Career pages created with the onlyfy Application Manager
- iFrame job widgets for embedding your open positions
- Job postings created with standard components of the Job Ad Designer*
- Application forms
- Additional questionnaires
- All email notifications during the application process
Accessibility in the Recruiter Application
While it is not mandatory for our tool to meet the requirements of the BFSG**, we also consider accessibility to be crucial for your overall experience with the onlyfy Application Manager. Accordingly, it is our goal to continuously improve your user experience in our application management tool in line with the highest accessibility standards. Naturally, we strive for the best possible outcome, but please be aware that technical implementation in the recruiter application may vary.
We appreciate your trust in us and assure you that accessibility is a guiding principle in our product development. We guarantee that a barrier-free candidate experience and an efficient user experience for you as a recruiter will remain central to our efforts now and in the future.
Your onlyfy Application Manager Team
*The accessibility of job postings created with the Job Ad Designer is only guaranteed when standard components are used. As designs can be highly customized, we recommend conducting accessibility tests (e.g., using WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool)) to ensure optimal accessibility of individually created job posting templates.
**The Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG) applies only to certain products and services, including e-book readers, universal computer hardware, telecommunications devices, and specific self-service terminals, as well as services in domains such as e-commerce, banking, and passenger transport.
