Recruit neurodivergent employees

We work with businesses who want to recruit a more diverse pool of employees. ASM works in partnership with corporates and other organisations to create opportunities for neurodivergent candidates.

From ring-fenced internships for autistic graduates, to a suitably-adjusted recruitment, induction and retention process which levels the playing field for neurodivergent candidates. We will support you to achieve a good match between the specific role and the skills, experience and aptitude of a particular cohort of recruits. We can then provide ongoing advice and support, if and as required, to enable each neurodivergent employee to achieve their potential in the workplace.

How do we work?

We routinely provide clarifying edits and amendments to the language used in the job descriptions, person specifications and job ads, together advising on practical adjustments to the interview process and the communications preceding it in order to maximise its open-ness.
