Accessibility

The Finkirk accessibility statement for www.finkirk.com sets out the standard this website is built toward, the practical measures we take to support accessible use, the limitations we are currently aware of, and how to report a problem or request content in an alternative format. Effective date: October 30, 2026. Last updated: October 30, 2026. Policy owner: Finkirk.

Finkirk is a specialist recruitment and executive search firm focused on the financial services sector. Because our website is a primary point of contact for clients, candidates, and partners, we regard website accessibility as part of the standard of professional service we owe to every visitor. If any barrier on this site prevents you from reaching the information or the people you need, we would rather know than not know, and the fastest route to a resolution is set out under Reporting an Accessibility Problem below.

This statement applies to the public website operated by Finkirk at www.finkirk.com, including its pages, downloadable documents hosted on the site, and interactive components such as forms and navigation elements. It covers the website through which we present the firm and its executive search and recruitment services to clients and candidates across the United States.

Third-party services that are linked from this website but hosted and operated independently fall outside the scope of this statement. Those services are built and maintained by their own operators, and their accessibility is governed by the statements those operators publish. Where a third-party component is embedded within our pages rather than merely linked from them, we address it as described under Known Limitations below.

Finkirk is committed to making its website accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We believe that clients, candidates, and partners should be able to reach our content and contact the firm regardless of the technology they use or the way they interact with it. For a firm whose work depends on connecting people, an accessible website is a practical extension of that principle.

We treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time project. New pages and components are considered against the target standard before they are published, and existing pages are reviewed as the site evolves. Where a barrier is identified, we work to remove it at source or to provide the same information through an accessible alternative, so that no visitor is left without a route to the content.

This website is built with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA as its target standard. WCAG is published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and defines how web content can be made more usable for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Level AA is the conformance level most commonly referenced in accessibility legislation and procurement requirements, and it addresses the barriers most likely to prevent access.

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is a target. We work toward it across the site, and this statement should not be read as a declaration that every page and component currently conforms in full. Partial conformance is stated here deliberately rather than claimed away, so that visitors can rely on what this statement says.

The sections below summarize the principal accessibility features and working practices applied to this website. Together they are intended to support the four principles that underpin WCAG: content that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

Semantic HTML

Pages are structured with semantic markup so that headings, landmarks, lists, and forms can be interpreted correctly by assistive technologies such as screen readers. This allows users to navigate by structure, moving heading to heading or landmark to landmark, rather than reading each page in full.

Keyboard Navigation

The site is designed to be operable using a keyboard alone, with a logical focus order and visible focus indicators, so that visitors who do not use a mouse can reach and activate every interactive component, including menus, links, and form fields.

Text Alternatives

Meaningful images are provided with text alternatives so that their content and purpose are available to users who cannot see them, while purely decorative images are marked so that assistive technologies can skip them without adding noise to the page.

Color Contrast

Text and user interface components are designed to meet recognized contrast expectations, so that content remains readable for users with low vision or color vision deficiencies. Color is not relied on as the only means of conveying meaning.

Resizable Text

Pages are built so that text can be resized using standard browser tools without loss of content or functionality, and without requiring horizontal scrolling at typical zoom levels. Layouts reflow to suit the size of the viewport.

Reduced-Motion Support

Where motion or animation is used, the site respects the reduced-motion preference set in the user's operating system or browser, limiting non-essential movement for people who experience discomfort, nausea, or distraction from animation.

This website is designed to work with current versions of major browsers together with common assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnification tools, speech recognition software, and keyboard-only navigation. Web accessibility depends on the combination of browser, assistive technology, and operating system working together, and older or uncommon combinations may produce inconsistent results even on a site built to the target standard.

Using an up-to-date browser and current versions of assistive tools will generally provide the most reliable user experience. If you encounter a problem with a specific combination, please tell us what you were using so that we can attempt to reproduce it.

Despite our efforts, some parts of the site may not yet meet the full target standard. Certain older pages or documents, third-party components embedded in the site, and some interactive features may present accessibility issues for some users. These limitations generally reflect constraints in legacy content or in components built and maintained by third parties. Where a lack of full conformance is identified, we work to remediate it or to provide the same content in an accessible alternative format on request.

A complete inventory of open issues is not published in this statement, because the set of known issues changes as remediation progresses and a static list would quickly become misleading. Current issues are tracked internally and prioritized as described under Assessment and Review.

If you experience difficulty using any part of this website, or if you need content in an alternative format, we want to hear from you. Feedback from visitors is one of the most reliable ways we learn about barriers that testing does not surface. You can contact the firm in either of the following ways.

Email: contact@finkirk.com

Phone: +1 888-202-9809

Please include the following details where you can:

• the address of the page where you encountered the problem;
• a description of what happened and what you were trying to do;
• the browser and device you were using;
• any assistive technology involved, including its version.

This information helps us reproduce and resolve the issue more quickly. If a fix will take longer than that, we will tell you what we are doing and, where possible, supply the information you were seeking in an alternative format in the meantime.

Accessibility considerations are incorporated when pages and components are created or updated, and the site is reviewed periodically against the target accessibility standards described above. Reviews combine checks against the WCAG success criteria with practical testing of the journeys most visitors rely on, such as reading content, navigating between pages, and contacting the firm. Findings are prioritized according to how severely they affect access, and remediation is scheduled accordingly.

This statement should be read together with the firm's other published policies, which govern how personal information submitted through this website is handled and the terms on which the site may be used. Information you send us when reporting an accessibility problem is treated in line with those policies.

Responsibility for this statement rests with Finkirk. Questions about this Finkirk accessibility statement, or about website accessibility more generally, may be directed to contact@finkirk.com or +1 888-202-9809.

Finkirk operates from offices in Atlanta GA, Marlborough MA, Parsippany NJ, and Cheyenne WY, and serves employers across the United States. Accessibility requests may be directed to the contact details above from any location.

This statement was last updated on October 30, 2026 and will be updated as the site, the applicable standards, or the firm's practices change. Superseded versions are retained internally so that the history of the statement can be traced.
