Informed hiring design: A project framework for building neuroinclusive hiring processes

Inclusive recruitment should be designed, not assumed

Hiring processes are often described as merit-based, but many still rely on vague requirements, traditional interviews, cover letters, confidence performance, and “culture fit” judgement.

That can make it harder for neurodivergent candidates to show what they can actually do, while giving organisations less useful evidence about who is genuinely right for the role.

This free informed hiring design framework gives you a practical starting point for building more neuroinclusive recruitment processes. It helps you define what is actually required, measure role-relevant capability, redesign interview touch points, and strengthen evaluation so decisions are based on clearer evidence rather than assumptions or vibes.

Use it to start small, review one role or assessment point, and make your recruitment process clearer, fairer, and more useful for candidates and hiring teams
