How to Recruit People with Disabilities
Contact Your State Vocational Rehabilitation Office
- The National Employment Team (www.rehabnetwork.org/busrel/), operated by the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation (CSAVR), helps employers and businesses find, recruit, and advertise to job seekers with disabilities. To find your local vocational rehabilitation contact, email Brenda Moore ([email protected]) or Kathy West-Evans ([email protected]).
Post to Online Job Boards
- These online job boards are geared toward job seekers with disabilities and are great places to advertise:
- Disaboom Jobs: www.disaboomjobs.com/employerservices

Bring College Students and Recent Graduates Onboard
- TheWorkforce Recruitment Program (www.wrp.gov), a recruitment and referral program under the Office of Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor, connects employers and postsecondary students with disabilities for internship opportunities, and recent graduates with disabilities for permanent employment. EARN assists in matching these pre-screened, highly qualified students with private and public sector jobs. If you have summer internship opportunities or entry-level positions available, please have your hiring manager complete and submit the form at www.earnworks.com/wrp/internship.asp. EARN will provide you with resumes of qualified candidates within 3-4 business days.
Recruit Veterans with Disabilities
- If you are interested in hiring veterans with disabilities, contact the Service Officer or Service Employment Coordinator at your local Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment Service (www.vba.va.gov/bln/vre/emp_resources.htm).
Contact One Stop Career Centers
- One Stop Career Centers share job postings with anyone looking for a job, including people with disabilities and veterans. Contact the Disability Program Navigator at the One Stop Career Center near you at www.servicelocator.org.
Leverage Projects With Industry
- Projects With Industry (PWI) programs connect employers to qualified job seekers with disabilities. Through PWI programs, employers can recruit candidates with disabilities, receive technical assistance, and become Business Advisory Council members.
