Requesting An Accommodation

At Jersey Hired, we work hard to ensure every candidate and employee we represent has an equal and fair experience - including those who may need accommodations for disabilities, religious observances, or other reasons.

If you're applying for a position through us and need an accommodation at any point in the process, we'll work with you - and with our client - to make sure your needs are understood and supported.

If you're hired by one of our clients, they'll handle ongoing workplace accommodations directly through their own reasonable accommodation process. Please note that accommodations made during the hiring or interview process don't automatically continue once you're employed, but we'll help ensure your needs are communicated clearly to your new employer.

If you'd like to discuss or request an accommodation, you can call us at (848) 292-9955, send us an email, or speak directly with your Jersey Hired recruiter.

That means no one is discriminated against because of age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital status, citizenship, or any other factor protected by law.

Diversity is one of the things that makes workplaces stronger - more creative, more adaptable, and more human. We're proud to help build teams that reflect that.
