In short, we help you to build more diverse effective teams, with untapped talents from the neurodivergent community. Neurodivergent people often have unique and valuable skills, talents and perspectives to enrich your team and your workforce.
We recruit at undergraduate, graduate and apprenticeship levels and across disciplines, typically for roles where attention to detail, pattern thinking or an ability to think outside of the box are important. For example, many autistic people are world-class analytical thinkers, and people with ADHD can work at a remarkable pace on a number of projects simultaneously when they are engaged by tasks they are set. People with dyspraxia are, by nature, creative problem-solvers, and people with dyslexia have a fantastic visual memory and spatial reasoning, as well as often being gifted with exceptional interpersonal skills.
When it comes to hiring neurodivergent candidates it can pose some challenging questions about how well-suited they are to the working environment, and how appropriate your working processes are for them. We help you solve those dilemmas and discover where you can help neurodivergent people to maximise their talents and manage their challenges in a mutually beneficial way.
We know and see the unique talents that neurodivergent candidates can bring, and we empower employers with the information they need to make the most of these incredible individuals.
Specialisterne Ireland uses a very unique and tailored process. Our goal is a long term vision where the right candidate is matched to the right role and then supported within that role. We provide that on-going support, we have the experience to coach and problem solve any challenges that arise, you are not expected to have all the answers. We bring this expertise with us.
We know from over ten years of experience in neurodiverse recruitment that onboarding is just one step on the journey to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. The candidates we support week-in week-out in our Partner Companies have longer retention rates and are afforded the opportunity to develop and thrive. Our model allows managers and employees to see the supports available, to see the successful hires, thereby building a trust and buy-in to diversity that will imbed confidence to grow one neurodiverse hire to many hires.
What are the steps?
For us, this is where our expertise comes into play. We provide an ongoing support service whereby we connect regularly with the new hire and hiring manager. These connect meetings build trust and enable the hire and their manager to be open with us about any challenges that might arise.
Specialisterne Ireland being on-hand and available allows us to problem solve in real time. It prevents small issues potentially becoming bigger and allows the manager and hire to get on with the job at hand.
Why is it so important?
We have a longterm vision. Finding meaningful employment for a neurodivergent person is the first step. Developing that person in the longer term and realising their potential in your team and your organisation is the next step. This comes through ongoing support.
Ongoing support means that we regularly connect with the new hire and with the hiring manager. When we meet the hire we provide support, advice, feedback, we help with problem solving and we support this person grow in confidence. We want the new hire to self-advocate, to be successful and to be an asset to their team in the long term.
For hiring managers, we can guide them as they build their diverse team. We have seen managers become stronger leaders with clear and effective communication skills, who see diversity as their advantage.
Importantly we want hiring managers to know they are not expected to have all the answers when it comes to neurodiverse recruitment. As their partner, we bring this expertise with us.
