| Abstract: |
Organizations are starting to actively invest in hiring initiatives aimed at recruiting neurodivergent talent. Yet, our understanding of the best ways to recruit and support these individuals as job applicants and employees remains limited. Using a combination of participant observer ethnographic case study and in-depth structured interviews of a targeted hiring initiative, we detail the importance of tailored recruiting service providers (TRSP) to identify, hire, and onboard neurodivergent talent. Specifically, we present a holistic perspective of how all stakeholders experience the hiring initiative (e.g., neurodivergent jobseeker, hiring manager, and TRSP coach) of a multinational TRSP and its client organization. From these data we develop a model for hiring neurodivergent talent grounded in alternative screening methods for selection and institutionalized tactics for socialization. We then discuss implications, limitations, and future research directions for human resource management related to recruitment, selection, and socialization of a neurodivergent workforce.
