It is crucial to establish psychological safety with candidates from the beginning of the recruitment process, regardless of how they entered (application, recruitment consultancy, headhunter, or internal recruiter). This creates an environment where they feel comfortable disclosing any disabilities or aspects of their identity that may put them at a disadvantage.

Build trust with candidates by consistently communicating that they can request any necessary adjustments or accommodations. This way, interviewers can offer a fair and accessible experience that caters to each individual's requirements. Adjustments for each candidate may differ, ranging from providing interview questions and structure in advance to arranging physical access to the building or a sign language interpreter. Each candidate is unique, so the approach will always be individualised.
