That looks like a device used to weed out"bots" but has the unfortunate side 
effect of reducing accessibility. one method these people could use is to add 
code to the sliding arrow so that its purpose is confirmed when a mouse hovers 
over it.( ofter all isn't html5 supposed to address the accesssibilty issue? )

OK this is a totally new one on me. I don't know if this is a replacement of a 
dreaded visual verification, you know "please type characters in the picture" 
type thing and if so, it's totally inaccessible. Hell I don't even think things 
like webvism can help with this. It is a job application, but in order to even 
fill the application in,  one needs to register. In order to register 
aparrently one is supposed to unlock/"move slider to the right". I have never 
ever seen this before. Am I missing something or is this really totally 
inaccessible?

I wonder if some sort of legal action can be brought against these people as 
surely they are not giving an equal opportunity of employment. Obviously I will 
contact them first and see if this can be resolved but I want to confirm that 
I'm not missing potential way of fixing this issue myself.
