Neurodiversity Hiring, Interview & Candidate Accommodation Protocol
Practical HR framework for candidate interviews. Covers transparent question disclosure, asynchronous skill work samples, and sensory accommodations.
Replacing Performance Theatre with Real Skill Evaluation
Traditional interviews often test social performance under stress rather than day-to-day role competence. Providing advance question previews and work-sample tasks evaluates real technical capability fairly.
Implementation Code & Script
Structured interview accommodations for talent acquisition teams.
## Neuroinclusive Interview Checklist
1. Pre-Interview Disclosure: Share interview questions and assessor names 48 hours prior to the call.
2. Format Options: Allow candidates to choose between video, audio-only, or written trials.
3. Skills-Based Evaluation: Use practical work samples rather than abstract social puzzle questions.
4. Clear Criteria: Score candidates against explicit job rubrics rather than informal cultural fit.How to cite and attribute this tool
