23 February, 2023
Looking
for insights on how to make recruitment and hiring more accessible and
inclusive for everyone?
In the second episode of our 'Leading with Inclusion' series on the Life
in Digital podcast we're joined by the brilliant Jennie Child, Founder of Balance,
to talk about inclusive hiring for neurodivergent talent.
Jennie shares what hidden barriers and unintentional
biases can exist within the hiring process. How "culture fit" in the
creative and media industries can lead to homogeneity and exclusion.
Jennie also emphasizes the importance of making
adjustments and accommodations for candidates during the hiring process and
recognizes the challenges that neurodivergent individuals may face in getting
accurately diagnosed with conditions like autism.
This episode offers valuable insights into how we can
create a more inclusive and accessible hiring process for all
individuals.
