Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 15.04.2026
JobsRecruitments is committed to making its content accessible to the widest possible audience of Indian candidates, including readers with disabilities, readers using budget mobile phones with slow connections, and readers whose first language is not English. This page documents the accessibility standards we work towards, what we have already done, the limitations we know about, and how to report a problem.
Our accessibility goal
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA across all editorial pages on this site. WCAG is the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility and is referenced by the Accessibility Standard for ICT Products and Services in India.
What we have done
- Mobile first: The site is built mobile first, because the overwhelming majority of our readers visit on a budget Android phone. Pages are tested to render correctly at 320 pixels wide on small screens and to scale up cleanly to large desktop monitors.
- Semantic HTML: Every page uses semantic HTML elements such as h1 through h3 for headings, p for paragraphs, ul and ol for lists, and table for tabular data. This lets screen readers and assistive tools navigate the page in a meaningful order.
- Single H1 per page: Every page has exactly one H1 element that describes the topic of the page, which helps both assistive tools and search engines understand the page hierarchy.
- Alt text on images: Featured images are tagged with alt text describing the image, derived from the post title where no caption is provided.
- Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements, including links and form fields, are reachable using the Tab key in a logical reading order. There are no keyboard traps.
- Colour contrast: The body text and the navy and orange interface colours are tested for sufficient contrast against their backgrounds at the WCAG AA threshold.
- Resizable text: Text scales when you change your browser font size or zoom level, without breaking the layout. Tables and code blocks scroll horizontally inside their container if they are wider than the screen, so they never push the rest of the page off the viewport.
- Hinglish for the Hindi belt: Recruitment posts targeted at the Hindi-belt audience are written in Hinglish (Devanagari script mixed with Roman English) so that candidates who are more comfortable reading Hindi can still parse them on a budget phone keyboard.
- No autoplay media: The site does not autoplay audio, video, or any moving content that could disorient a reader using assistive technology.
Known limitations
Some content on this site is outside our direct control or has known accessibility limitations that we are working to address:
- Official notification PDFs: We link to PDFs hosted on official recruiting body websites. Many of these PDFs are scanned images of printed notifications and are not screen-reader accessible. We cannot fix accessibility issues in PDFs that we do not host. Where we know a PDF is inaccessible, we try to summarise the most important details from it directly in the body of the post so that screen-reader users can still get the essential information.
- Embedded third-party content: Advertisements and other embedded third-party content on this site is served by third parties whose accessibility we do not control. We try to choose ad networks that meet basic accessibility standards.
- Older posts: Some posts published before our current accessibility standards were introduced may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA on every check. We are systematically updating older posts as we identify issues.
Assistive technologies we test with
We test the site with current versions of mainstream assistive technologies, including the built-in screen readers on Android (TalkBack) and the keyboard-only navigation paths on desktop browsers. We do not currently run formal third-party accessibility audits, but we treat every accessibility report from a reader as a high-priority editorial issue.
How to report an accessibility problem
If you cannot use any part of this site because of an accessibility barrier, please email us at [[email protected]] with the subject line beginning “Accessibility”. Include:
- The full URL of the page where you encountered the problem.
- A description of the problem and what you were trying to do.
- The device, browser, and assistive technology you were using, if you know.
We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 48 working hours and to fix the problem within seven working days where it is within our control. Where the problem is in third-party content (such as a PDF on a government website), we will tell you so and, where we can, summarise the inaccessible content directly on our page.
Ongoing improvements
Accessibility is not a one-time fix. We continue to review the site as we publish new content and as accessibility standards evolve. The Engineering lead, Avinash, is responsible for the technical implementation of accessibility improvements, and the Lead Editor, Deepika Raikwar, is responsible for ensuring editorial content meets our accessibility standards before publication.
