Abstract :Human resources and career management web pages are essential tools for companies to manage talent acquisition, workforce planning, and organizational efficiency. These pages serve not only as platforms for job postings but also as channels to communicate company culture, enhance employee engagement, and provide career development resources. This study evaluates the accessibility of career and human resources web pages of companies listed in the Fortune Turkey 500, with a focus on compliance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines. Using the TAW tool, the analysis identifies key accessibility issues across perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust aspects. In addition, the Dead Link Checker tool was employed to detect broken links, while the Google Mobile Friendly tool assessed the mobile responsiveness of these pages. The results reveal that most web pages fail to meet basic Level A accessibility conformance, contain broken links, and experience mobile access issues. These findings provide actionable insights for web administrators and developers, underscoring the need for significant improvements in accessibility to enhance the user experience and ensure inclusivity.
