The Neurodivergent Job Candidate

"Marcia Scheiner has done it again with a second resource that will prove to be a value add for companies seeking to employ individuals on the Autism Spectrum, in addition to providing clear and direct examples for individuals that are seeking employment. Ms. Scheiner's overview of how to apply this resource is extremely helpful. Her ability to provide history, application, and foundational principles as a starting point is straightforward and effective. The strategic use of statistics, tables, and flowcharts is helpful as they allow the reader to visualize steps and processes. I see this book being used heavily with a dual focus that benefits employers and potential employees."

- Jamell G. Mitchell, EY NCoE Global Community Engagement/Ecosystem Leader

"As organizations become increasingly conscious of the imperative of more neurodiversity-inclusive practices, staff in key roles require support and resources to recognize and address potential pitfalls. Marcia Scheiner's latest book - following the successful blueprint of her first - is packed with information and tips while also being neatly structured and highly navigable. The practices she highlights will help individual recruiters and their organizations conduct hiring that is more intentional, more inclusive, and ultimately more successful."

- Ed Thompson, Founder & CEO, Uptimize

"What a wonderfully practical and helpful book for employers on why and how to hire autistic people; and for autistic people on how to improve your chances of getting a job. Clearly written and accessible, Marcia Scheiner makes the case for why all employers should embrace neurodiversity."

- Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Cambridge University

"Marcia Scheiner's The Neurodivergent Job Candidate: Recruiting Autistic Professionals is a book long overdue. As we emerge from a post-COVID world, smart businesses will look to diversify their employment efforts to include neurodivergent people. I know from my prior position as CEO of Specialisterne USA, best intentions and publicized desire to hire neurodiverse people do not reach far enough to make an impact. Current recruitment processes screen out potential neurodivergent applicants, resulting in an erroneous belief that there are not enough neurodiverse candidates with the required skills. The Neurodivergent Job Candidate is a must-read to fill in the gaps in common recruitment efforts, allowing companies to screen in this exceptional talent."
