PitchID · Accessibility & inclusive employment

Prepare. Practise. Present your strengths.
In your own time, before the interview.

The employment challenge
A gap in opportunity. Not in potential.

Interview anxiety, communication differences, inaccessible formats and fluctuating health can all create barriers.

How PitchID helps
A little more space to be yourself.
Confidence through practice
Prepare with guided prompts. Retake any clip as often as you like.
Let your strengths shine
Show the person and skills beyond your written CV.
More accessible first impressions
A QR code on your CV connects employers to your introduction.
AI helps with editable talking points. It does not score, rank or alter your video.
What PitchID Verified meansBuilt for different needs
Different experiences. Individual strengths.
Disabled people, neurodivergent candidates and people experiencing mental health challenges deserve choice in how they present their skills.
Mental health & interview anxiety
On-the-spot pressure can make interviews difficult. Prepare and record privately when you feel ready.
Autism & neurodivergence
Unexpected questions can be a barrier. See the prompts first and practise before recording.
Speech & communication differences
Live speaking can feel pressured. Retake short clips; current limits are 20 seconds per clip.
Physical disabilities & mobility
Travel can make first-stage interviews harder. Record your introduction somewhere comfortable.
Chronic illness & fatigue
Fixed appointment times may not suit fluctuating health. Choose when to record and pause within a session.
Deaf & hard of hearing
Phone screens can create barriers. Prompts are written; captions and BSL options are planned, not live.
Video isn't right for everyone. PitchID complements a CV; it does not replace an employer's accessible application options. Written, audio and transcript-first alternatives are planned for our pilot, not available yet. Read our known gaps.

The evidence informing our design
In a mock online interview study of 292 people, 92% of neurodivergent participants said accessibility features helped; 70% reported less anxiety. Callwood et al., University of Surrey (GENIUS project, UKRI-funded), medRxiv preprint, 2025 (opens in a new tab) · Preprint, not yet peer-reviewed. Some authors co-founded Sammi-Select, the company behind the interview tool. It tested a mock interview, not PitchID.
A 2024 study found video did not give autistic candidates the same positive perception boost as non-autistic candidates. Video is not automatically fairer. Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, University of Bristol and UCL, 2024 (opens in a new tab).
Our social impact ambition
Our mission: Help more people overcome barriers to employment.
Improve candidates' confidence and control
Help employers recognise individual strengths
Support more inclusive access to employment
How we plan to measure impact
Pilot participation, accessibility feedback, recruiter engagement and candidate employment outcomes. These are objectives, not proven results.
Our Luton pilot is planned. We intend to involve a paid lived-experience panel and local employment services, health services, colleges and employers. No partnerships have been agreed yet.
Talent comes in different forms. Opportunity should too.

Accessibility statement
Our aim
We want everyone to be able to use PitchID. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
Where we are now
We have not yet had an independent accessibility audit. We plan to have one, with testing by disabled people and users of assistive technology, during our pilot.
Known gaps
- Pitch videos don't have captions yet.
- There is no BSL option yet.
- You can't upload a video recorded elsewhere yet.
- Recording time limits can't be adjusted yet.
- There is no written or audio alternative or transcript-first recruiter view yet.
- New recordings stay in this browser tab until you save them; leaving before signup discards them. Pausing is available, but returning to an unsaved recording later is not.
- Spoken prompts and private AI coaching on pace and clarity are not available yet.
