Neurodiversity At Work: A Guide For Hiring Managers

Posting date: 12 Dec 2023

1 in 5 of us are ‘neurodivergent’. Yet the evidence is clear, so many highly capable neurodiverse individuals struggle to get a job, or indeed thrive in the workplace. Sadly, too many neurominorities face insurmountable barriers throughout the employee experience. 

As experts in specialist recruitment, we believe every employer should embrace and enable the unique and varied ways our brains function and interpret the world around us. Talent comes from everywhere and we all have a part to play in raising awareness, adapting processes, and embedding change. 

This guide explores the barriers neurominorities face throughout the employee experience and provides practical advice to help business leaders, hiring managers, and HR / Talent Partners adapt recruitment processes to be more accessible.
