Neurodiversity Recruitment Bootcamps

At Advance: The Disability Consultants we recognize that in many organisations the recruitment function represents the biggest business risk to ensuring that  an organisation is equipped to deliver a Neuroinclusive recruitment experience for Neurodivergent people applying for roles in their organisation. Recruitment and talent acquisition teams are the first impression that a candidate sees when they apply for a role and when organisations get this wrong, business, and reputational risk can follow. Yet this does not need to be the case. When organisations demonstrate that their recruitment processes are Neuroinclusive more Neurodivergent people want to work in these organisations but also those affiliated with the Neurodiversity movement are more inclined to want to work in organisations which see Neuroinclusion as the rule and not the exception to fostering a culture of Neuroinclusion in the workplace. Data from Forbes and Savills backs up the view that organisations need to evolve to actively promote a culture of Neuroinclusion in the workplace with 53% of generation X identifying as Neurodivergent and 62% of millennials identifying as Neurodivergent, Neuroinclusion in the workplace has never been as important. At Advance, our Neurodiversity Recruitment Bootcamps are two day intense workshops which are designed to take recruitment teams from theoretical to practical steps to ensure that their recruitment processes are Neuroinclusive. Our recruitment bootcamps benefit your organisation by delivering the following:

​​
