Disability (Re)Defined

This is why we’re here

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates more than 1 in every 4 American adults has a diagnosed disability. And yet, studies show that less than 4% disclose their disability to their employer. People with disabilities experience unemployment at a rate 2x the national figure--and this isn’t even counting those who are underemployed, settling for less out of fear of being unemployed.

This is why Peak Performers exists.

Individuals with disabilities receive priority in our hiring process. Most of the professionals we work with have never disclosed a disability or chronic condition to their employer. Why would you? It’s too big of a risk.

Imagine being screened into a hiring process because of your disability--not screened out. Imagine working with a supervisor who has extensive experience with disability accommodations. Imagine having confidential conversations about your disability-related needs, without fear of anyone treating you differently.  

Imagine being empowered to thrive at work in ways you never thought possible.

You’re our priority

Many individuals don’t think of themselves as “disabled,” and yet they meet the criteria set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

A Disability is an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. A disability may affect you physically, mentally, or emotionally. Sometimes a disability is visible; more often, it’s not.

We here to understand your unique needs and support your success.

Priority

We identify the most qualified candidates for a role, then give priority to those with disabilities. Almost all of the candidates we send to our clients have one or more disability.

Proof of your disability

Once you are hired, you will be asked to send us proof of your disability. In many cases, a doctor’s note is sufficient.

Privacy

Your information, including information about your disability, is kept confidential at Peak. It is never shared with the client or your onsite supervisor.

Accommodation

Our skilled staff can facilitate a disability accommodation at any point, whether it’s during the hiring process or while you’re employed on a Peak assignment. Just ask us!
