Neuro-inclusive recruitment

How Neuro-Inclusive Is Your Recruitment Process?



PegSquared are delighted to have launched the first neurodiversity recruitment benchmarking survey.  The Neuro‑Inclusive Recruitment Self-Assessment is PegSquared’s in‑depth, ten‑area recruitment audit that gives you a clear view of your organisations own maturity and quick‑win actions now, while also feeding into PegSquared’s benchmark report to show how organisations across sectors are progressing on neuro‑inclusive hiring. 


Did you know the recruitment process can be incredibly stressful for a neurodivergent candidate?

With an estimated 15-20% of our workforce being neurodivergent, including neurotypes such as ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia, organisations are being asked to react to increasing requests for support.

The recruitment process can be the single biggest barrier to neurodivergent talent entering your organisation. Standard hiring practices typically favour candidates who excel across all competencies rather than those with "spikey profiles" - individuals who may have exceptional abilities in specific areas alongside challenges in others. And this is being amplified by the use of AI in the process.  

By understanding the  small simple changes you can make to support neurodivergent candidates, you open the door to innovative thinkers who can transform your business.

Neuro‑Inclusive Recruitment Benchmarking

Neuro‑inclusive recruitment isn’t just about good intentions; it’s about how every stage of your hiring journey actually works for neurodivergent candidates. PegSquared’s Neuro‑Inclusive Recruitment Benchmarking combines a ten‑area audit of your current practices with inclusion in our 2026 benchmark report on neurodiversity in recruitment.

This playbook captures what I've learned about transforming recruitment practices: the mistakes to avoid, the quick wins that deliver immediate impact, and the long-term strategies that create lasting change. Most importantly, it's written by someone who understands both the corporate realities of implementing change and the personal impact of exclusionary practices.
