What you get
A scorecard that shows exactly where to focus first
Most companies have good intentions. This scorecard reveals whether your hiring process actually reflects them — across four critical stages.
Recruiting & Job Design
Are your job descriptions clear, specific, and free from language that unintentionally filters out neurodiverse candidates?
Interview Process
Is your process structured, consistent, and built around role relevance — not subjective culture fit?
Candidate Experience
Are accommodations accessible? Does your process minimize sensory or communication barriers?
Onboarding & Manager Readiness
Do new hires get structured onboarding? Are managers trained to support different working styles?
Your score reveals where you stand:
Major gaps exist. Strong opportunity to build intentional, inclusive systems from the ground up.
Some practices in place, but gaps in consistency or manager training are limiting your outcomes.
Solid systems in place. The next step is refining and standardizing for long-term results.
Who it's for
Made for the teams who shape the hiring experience
The hidden problem
Good intentions aren't enough
Many organizations unknowingly create friction for neurodiverse candidates through vague job descriptions, inconsistent interviews, unclear onboarding, and managers who have never been trained to support different working styles.
A low score doesn't mean your organization lacks good intent. It usually means your systems weren't built with neurodiverse talent in mind. That is fixable.
