Accessibility statement
TrueFit is the assessment candidates complete when they apply for a role. This document explains how that experience is built to be usable by as many people as possible — however they see, hear, move or navigate — and the standards we work to. Accessibility and inclusivity are designed in from the start, not added on at the end.
Measured against recognised, current accessibility standards.
We take a best-efforts, continuously-reviewed approach. This statement is version 1.2 and reflects the current build of the candidate experience — including a built-in read-aloud option for the on-screen text, added since version 1.1. It is updated as the experience evolves rather than claiming a one-off, fixed certification.
What we do across the candidate experience.
Every control can be reached and used with a keyboard alone. Answers are announced as a grouped set of choices, progress and headings are exposed to assistive technology, and there is always a clearly visible focus outline.
WCAG: 2.1.1 Keyboard · 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value · 2.4.7 Focus VisibleAn automatic contrast floor keeps text readable even when a client's brand colour is unusual — body, secondary and accent text are nudged to meet AA against their background. Text can also be enlarged and the layout reflows rather than breaking.
WCAG: 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) · 1.4.4 Resize TextIf you have already told your operating system how you prefer to browse, TrueFit listens. On first load it honours reduced motion, increased contrast or forced-colour modes, and your light or dark preference — each mapped to its own adjustment.
Respects: reduced-motion · increased-contrast / forced-colours · colour-schemeAnimation is gentle and never essential. When "reduce motion" is set, transitions and movement are switched off, and no information is ever conveyed by motion alone.
WCAG: 2.3.1 Three Flashes · 2.3.3 Animation from InteractionsOne question per screen, a progress indicator you can rely on, a Back button that works as expected, plain language throughout, and no hidden time limits or pressure to rush.
WCAG: 1.3.1 Info & Relationships · 3.1 Readable · 2.4 NavigableText size, high-contrast, light/dark and read-aloud controls sit in the top bar on every screen, so a candidate can adjust the experience in the moment — without leaving the assessment or losing their place.
WCAG: 1.4.4 Resize Text · 1.4.3 / 1.4.11 ContrastA read-aloud control in the top bar speaks the words on screen — the role description, a question, the answer choices — for anyone who finds listening easier than reading. It uses the device’s own voice, so there is nothing to install, and it stops the moment you move on. It is there for everyone, not only people who use a screen reader.
Supports: dyslexia · lower literacy · English as an additional language · visual fatigueA “skip to content” link is the first thing a keyboard user reaches, so they can jump past the header in a single keystroke instead of tabbing through it on every screen.
WCAG: 2.4.1 Bypass BlocksWhere we ask for your details, every field has a clear label, required fields are marked, and if something is missing the error appears in text beside the field — not by colour alone — and is announced to assistive technology.
WCAG: 3.3.1 Error Identification · 3.3.2 Labels or InstructionsWhen something changes without the page reloading — such as your unique completion code appearing — it is announced to screen-reader users through a live region, without pulling focus away from where they were.
WCAG: 4.1.3 Status MessagesSelected answers, errors and status are shown with text, shape or an icon as well as colour, so meaning never depends on telling colours apart. In high-contrast mode the chosen answer is clearly inverted too.
WCAG: 1.4.1 Use of ColorWhere a role includes an introductory video, captions are turned on by default, so the content is available to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who simply prefer to read along.
WCAG: 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)Meeting a checklist is the floor, not the ambition.
Accessibility is not a one-time task. We review it on every release, include keyboard and screen-reader checks in our testing, and welcome feedback from candidates and clients alike. As the candidate experience grows, this statement will be updated — and its version number raised — so it always reflects what is actually live.
