"At WebMD, one of our most important objectives is to treat everyone with respect," stated Kathleen Tourjee, WebMD's Vice President of Human Resources.

We are proud that WebMD is the first company to leverage this innovation for the recruitment process and especially pleased to launch it in 2015, which is the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
