Neurodiversity and the Selection Process in Organizations: A Preliminary Study on the Use of Video Curriculum as a Tool for Inclusion

Traditional and standardised conversational type job interviews represent a barrier for neuroatypical candidates such as autistics, dyslexics and persons with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). These types of job interview hinder opportunities for this vulnerable group to access the labour market because they rely heavily on social and communication skills. This exploratory study advocates for the adoption of video curriculum, inverting the recruiting process perspective from neurotypical to neurodivergent, thus enhancing the inclusivity of organisations. This paper is based on an epistemological statement with a bio-psycho-social approach as the model and the Neurodiversity movement as the inspirational concept.
