Looking for practical ways to make recruitment more inclusive and supportive of neurodivergent talent? In this episode, host Kate Jenkinson sits down with Mark Crawley, founder of Diversita, a consultancy neurodiversity consultancy that help organizations become more neuro inclusive through training, recruitment and awareness. Mark shares his personal motivation for this work, unpacks the barriers many neurodivergent candidates face, and explains why equity—not equality—is key to creating fair opportunities. Together, they explore actionable strategies such as skills-based recruitment, making reasonable adjustments, and equipping managers with the right training. Mark also introduces Diversity's new digital platform for neuro-diverse job seekers and shares inspiring success stories that show what's possible when organizations truly embrace neurodiverse talent.

Listeners will come away with two powerful takeaways: first, the importance of shifting recruitment systems to recognize strengths rather than screen out difference; and second, the vital role coaches play in helping create supportive processes and environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive.
