What Evenbreak does

Evenbreak is a UK-based private social enterprise founded in 2011 that operates a global disability-focused job board connecting disabled job seekers with inclusive employers. The platform functions as a two-sided marketplace: services are free for candidates (job search, CV upload, job alerts, career coaching, CV review, interview preparation, and disability disclosure support) while employers pay subscription fees for unlimited job advertising. The company is self-described as the only global disability job board run by and for people with lived experience of disability, with every team member having personal disability experience. Its headquarters are in London but the organization operates as a fully remote team.

The core product is a web-based job board platform built on Madgex Job Board Technology and built to WCAG 2.1 Level AAA accessibility standards. Job listings span the UK, Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Oceania, Africa, and the Middle East. Beyond the core job board, Evenbreak operates two supplementary offerings: Career Hive, a free career support platform providing coaching, webinars, articles, and 'Meet The Employer' events led by coaches with lived experience of disability; and the Best Practice Portal, a subscription-gated employer resource providing guidance on disability-inclusive recruitment. A Talent First sub-brand extends the company's employer-facing initiatives.

Evenbreak's go-to-market combines product-led candidate acquisition (content marketing, email alerts, social media, events) with sales-led employer acquisition (direct sales, partnership referrals). The principal commercial channel is the Business Disability Forum strategic alliance, whose member organizations employ approximately 20% of the UK workforce; members receive a 10% discount (~£900 annual savings) on advertising packages. Additional strategic partners include The National Autistic Society, Disability Rights UK, University of Greenwich STAART, Valuable 500, and Diversity Network. Named employer customers span diverse sectors and include BBC, JPMorgan Chase, GSK, Tesco, Mars, Heathrow, Kantar, Wellcome, UNICEF UK, Financial Times, Paramount, Superdrug, the UK Department for Transport, Laing O'Rourke, and Network Rail. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no external funding rounds have been identified, and the company operates as an independent social enterprise.
