Advertising

Deaf Unity celebrates diversity and opportunity. We strive to ensure the Deaf Community and its members have access to the same opportunities as those in wider society and the same chances to contribute their talent and skills to the workforce.

Growing a diverse workforce is in everyone’s best interests. A 2017 Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study identified diversity as a key driver of innovation, finding that diverse teams produce 19% more revenue.

Why advertise with Deaf Unity

The Deaf Community is a linguistic and cultural minority. This can make deaf and hard of hearing people harder to reach when communicating opportunities.

By advertising with Deaf Unity, inclusive employers can be assured that they will attract candidates that may not be found through other recruitment channels.
Trust plays a large role in deciding whether to apply for an opportunity. Research by UCL discovered that 82% of disabled candidates don’t know which companies are truly disability-friendly and we can confidently say that this would be higher for deaf talent. As a result, they are less likely to apply for roles advertised on mainstream job boards than their non-deaf peers.

Deaf Unity has been introducing employers and deaf applicants for 10 years. We have worked from within the Deaf Community to become a trusted route for information and opportunities. Advertising your roles with Deaf Unity shows talented deaf candidates that you are serious about welcoming deaf applicants and that you embrace the unique skills and experiences that they bring. We have successfully introduced charities and corporations – both small and large – to our talented deaf pool.
