Supporting Connectr's growth into the enterprise market

Connectr Talent Technology is a UK recruitment technology company helping employers create better candidate experiences, from initial application through to onboarding.

Its platforms, Connectr for Candidates and Connectr for Preboarding, support companies including Lloyds Banking Group, Marks & Spencer and Clifford Chance.

Meeting the expectations of enterprise customers

As Connectr grew, it faced increasingly demanding security and accessibility requirements from larger customers.

Protecting sensitive candidate information was essential, as was demonstrating that its platforms could be used by people with different accessibility needs.

Both were important to enterprise procurement processes and Connectr's wider ambition to make recruitment more inclusive.

Strengthening security and accessibility

We began working with Connectr in 2020, initially providing penetration testing to identify security vulnerabilities and help its development team prioritise improvements.

As the partnership developed, we introduced WCAG accessibility audits, identifying barriers across key user journeys, including keyboard navigation, colour contrast and screen reader compatibility.

We also supported Connectr's transition from WCAG 2.1 to WCAG 2.2, helping its team understand and address the updated requirements.

Through regular planning sessions and periodic testing, we've continued to align our work with Connectr's product roadmap, new features and customer requirements.

Supporting growth through independent assurance

Our testing has helped Connectr demonstrate its commitment to security and accessibility during enterprise procurement, supporting opportunities with larger and more regulated customers.

Accessibility improvements have also helped reduce barriers across candidate journeys, making the platforms easier to use for people with disabilities.

Together, these improvements have strengthened Connectr's ability to meet customer expectations while staying true to its commitment to inclusive recruitment.

An ongoing partnership

We continue to support Connectr through regular penetration testing and accessibility audits as its platforms evolve.

What began with security testing has grown into a long-term partnership, helping Connectr respond to changing customer requirements, improve its products and pursue new opportunities with confidence.
