Typically, a staffing firm is considered your prospective employer during the application process because it has not yet identified the client for whom you will work. In such cases, only the staffing firm is obligated to provide reasonable accommodation through the application process. If a staffing firm and a client are joint employers, both are responsible for providing reasonable accommodation, absent undue hardship, if there is notice of the need for accommodation or if the need for accommodation is obvious.
