Here are the main takeaways
Assessing your recruitment process towards neuroinclusivity starts with your job requirements: What tasks does a person in this role carry out and how can we measure them in the recruitment process?
There are many pitfalls in the recruitment process. Interviews are particularly dangerous because of the weight that is placed on minutiae like handshakes, eye contact, etc.
The key success factors for an inclusive recruitment process are validity and education: Are our measuring tools and practices valid and are the hiring managers and recruiters educated on asking about reasonable accommodations neurodivergent candidates might require?
P.S. In a previous webinar, Ludmila and Charlotte touched upon the reality of neurodivergent talent in the hiring process and at work and covered topics such as:
- How to define neurodiversity and related terms like cognitive diversity, neurodivergent, and neurotypical
