#24: Building a Neuro-inclusive Hiring Strategy with Tameka Allen

Around 20% of the population in the US is neurodivergent, yet most hiring processes contain significant barriers for neurodiverse candidates. If you’re not intentional about prioritizing neuro-inclusivity, AI-driven recruiting is going to make this worse!

So how can companies make sure they’re not unintentionally excluding neurodiverse talent?

My guest this week is Tameka Allen, a People & Culture consultant and the founder of ModCulture, a consultancy fostering business success through neuroinclusive work cultures.

In this interview, she emphasizes the importance of creating accessible hiring practices that accommodate diverse cognitive styles, the misconceptions surrounding neurodivergent candidates, and the need for organizations to adopt a growth mindset. Tameka shares practical steps for improving interview processes, the value of data in driving change, and the positive ripple effects of embracing neurodiversity in the workplace.
