Interviewing Job Applicants with Disabilities

Fairness when interviewing is an essential part of hiring; it’s even more important when you have disabled applicants. In these situations, where you want to do everything right, you’re probably just as nervous as the job candidate. But following the guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act can help you set those fears aside. Focus the interview on the applicant’s abilities—not the disability—and you’ll ensure that every candidate gets the same chance to prove that he or she is the right person for the job.
