"Every single human being has their own individual brain, like a thumbprint, and we're going to treat them as human beings and we're not going to try and have this broad brush and these, um, you know, spikes in diversity just broadly."
Ever wondered how recruitment can be more inclusive of neurodiverse individuals? In this episode of The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast, host Lysha Holmes sits down with Theo Smith, VP Customer Acquisition at Zinc Work and a passionate neurodiversity advocate. Theo dives into the world of neurodiversity, shedding light on what it means and why it's crucial for recruitment businesses to embrace it.
He offers a candid look at the hurdles neurodiverse individuals face during the hiring process and provides actionable tips for creating workplaces that truly value diverse cognitive profiles. One of the standout moments in this conversation is Theo's emphasis on viewing each person as a unique individual rather than just another tick in the diversity box. He challenges the traditional approaches to diversity and urges businesses to appreciate the distinct qualities each person brings to the table.
The discussion also touches on the role of technology in fostering inclusivity and the compelling business case for embracing neurodiversity. If you're keen on understanding how to make your recruitment practices more inclusive and effective, this episode is a must-listen.
