Course description
Neurodivergent people may think and process information differently to ‘neurotypical’ employees. They may struggle in social settings, in interpreting questions and understanding the clues which many of us use when communicating.
Employers who do little to accommodate the potential of neurodivergent candidates are missing out on a huge amount of talent, loyalty, and experience that these individuals can offer. So, it is time to look again at how we recruit and treat our job candidates.
This virtual classroom seminar with HR expert Helen Cleare will offer practical tips around designing a recruitment process with neurodivergent candidates in mind, particularly by re-thinking the approach we take to interviewing prospective employees.
