Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

ResumeRoo is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to our services, regardless of ability or disability. Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience that allows all users to effectively use our platform for their career development.

Conformance Status

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

WCAG 2.1 defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including accommodations for:

• Blindness and low vision
• Deafness and hearing loss
• Limited movement
• Speech disabilities
• Photosensitivity
• Combinations of these

We are working towards full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and regularly audit our platform to identify and address accessibility barriers.

Known Accessibility Issues

Despite our best efforts, there are some areas where we are actively working to improve accessibility:

• Third-Party Integrations: Some third-party components may have limited accessibility support
• Dynamic Content: Certain dynamic content updates may not be immediately announced to screen readers
• Complex Visual Elements: Charts and graphs may need additional descriptions
• Document Exports: Generated PDF and DOCX files may have varying levels of accessibility

We are actively working to address these limitations and welcome feedback on areas where we can improve.

• Regular accessibility audits and testing
