STAR recruitment assessment lacks disability accommodations
The STAR recruitment assessment model does not provide adequate flexibility for neurodivergent candidates as required by the Employment Disability Act 2010. Interview questions are not provided in advance, creating barriers for candidates with conditions like Dyscalculia and potentially violating disability law.
