People with disabilities (PWD) often encounter several barriers to becoming employed. A growing body of evidence in software development highlights the benefits of diversity and inclusion in the field. However, recruiting, hiring, and fostering a supportive environment for PWD remains challenging. These challenges are exacerbated by the lack of skilled professionals with experience in inclusive hiring and management, which prevents companies from effectively increasing PWD representation on software development teams. To explore barriers faced in attracting PWD developers to the tech workforce, we report on a Brazilian software company’s experience hosting a full-remote hackathon with 50 participants. This event aimed to attract and identify talented PWD developers, resulting in 10 new hires and 146 people added to the company’s talent pool. Through surveys with participants, we gathered PWD attendees’ perceptions and experiences, aiming to improve future hackathons and similar initiatives by providing insights on accessibility and collaboration. Our findings offer lessons for other companies seeking to address similar challenges and promote greater inclusion in tech teams.
