A neurodivergent is a person who identifies as being autistic, has ADHD, dyslexia or dyspraxia. They might have a formal diagnosis, or they might not. These individuals  will have strengths and talents that will benefit your team and challenges that might require accommodations.

Many of our diverse graduates come to us after unsuccessfully attending job interviews.  They often have low self-confidence, and the first accommodation we provide is to give them some additional support at the interview. We might look to provide them with the name of the interviewers, how long the interview will take and what the questions or topics will be in advance.  This information is reassuring and helps reduce interviewee anxiety.  This is the first accommodation.  The second is providing detailed feedback on their performance at the interview to support improvements and development for future interview situations.

These small accommodations make a huge difference to building up someone’s confidence and providing for a positive experience for both the interviewer and interviewee.

When onboarding, we  provide the new hire with additional information if they need it.

When on the job, each diverse hire will require different accommodations. Examples include:

• Wearing noise cancelling-earphones in an open-plan area
• Going to the canteen at off-peak times to avoid overstimulation
• Not being comfortable making eye contact
• Needing clear feedback or reassurance as they learn their role

Every neurodivergent person is unique, and we will work with them and you in a customised way to provide an inclusive environment.

Get in touch and we can arrange to meet you and/or your team.  We want to hear your goals and what you want to achieve.  We have provided specialist recruitment services for 10 years, and we can answer your questions and guide you through the process step by step.

Yes, we provide D&I training. 

We can offer a one-hour broad overview suitable for a wide audience which gives an overview of what we mean by neurodiversity, what the barriers to a diverse hire are and how to eliminate these barriers. This training is approximately 45 minutes long, with time for a Q&A at the end.

We can also provide a more focused presentation on what we do and how we can guide you, your hiring managers or your team to make a diverse hire. We provide considerable support during the recruitment and hiring phase, and our ongoing support service is quite unique. 

Giving managers and staff the opportunity to hear about our services from us directly and providing them with the opportunity to ask questions in an open and frank manner is key to making progress and changing attitudes.  Get in touch, and we can provide this more focused training on how to get started.

We are a registered specialist recruitment agency.  We provide two options for hiring; a direct hire or a contractor hire.

Our ongoing support service is unique and provides high levels of staff retention with diverse hires.  Providing the support really works.  There is a fee for this support.
