Neurodiversity for recruiters
Attract the top talent you’re currently missing
Making your recruitment process inclusive for neurodiverse candidates means it is better for everyone. You’ll be able to recruit the best talent, improve your recruitment processes, and be able to educate your clients and wider team. Neurodiverse recruitment reduces other hiring biases so you’ll see more diversity across the board.
Suitable for: HR managers, TA professionals and agency recruiters
