Does the ADA force employers to hire unqualified candidates?
ANSWER: NO

Myth
The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) forces employers to hire unqualified individuals with disabilities.
Fact
Unqualified candidates are not protected under the ADA. To be protected from discrimination in hiring, an individual must first meet all requirements for a job and be able to perform its essential functions with or without reasonable accommodations.

AtWork! has many job candidates that are VERY QUALIFIED for a vast array of jobs. Since you aren't required to hire an unqualified candidate - why wouldn't you want to at least consider hiring someone with a disability? To inquire about our candidate resumes - email us at info@atworkwa.org today.
