Solution

Brazilian law requires companies of a certain size to hire persons with disabilities, but stigma, lack of access, and poor hiring practices limit the number of people employed.

Egalite’s online platform prepares, recruits, and evaluates candidates with disabilities. The platform offers free e-learning courses in interview skills, public speaking, and other skills. Candidates also complete a behavioural profile. This generates one of 3,125 possible profiles, which is then combined with the platform’s job search algorithm, taking into account location, education, and other factors.
The quota law in Brazil requires companies with over 100 employees to include from 2% to 5% of people with disabilities in its workforce, and companies that do not comply with the law are required to pay a fine. Consequently, there is a significant demand for the matchmaking service offered by Egalite.
The website has various accessibility features, such as compatible screen readers, and also offers sign language. Candidates recruited through the Egalite platform have an average annual income 76 per cent higher than the minimum wage (120 per cent, when benefits are included). Egalite currently has 65,000 candidates in its database.

Egalite´s services are fully funded by companies paying recruitment fees based on the salary of the job opportunity. There is no charge to jobseekers with disabilities.

Impact

From 2015 to 2019, Egalite has helped to employ over 7,000 persons with disabilities in 20 states in Brazil.

The average wage of people recruited through the platform is 120 percent higher than minimum wage when including benefits
