HiveEngage Session: Unlocking Hidden Talent – Rethinking Recruitment Through a Neurodiversity Lens

You may be familiar with the ongoing challenge organisations face in attracting and retaining the right talent. Despite increased focus on diversity and inclusion, many businesses continue to rely on traditional “post and apply” recruitment models, often overlooking highly capable individuals who don’t fit conventional hiring pathways.

In this HiveEngage session, expert David Threlfall will explore a significant and often underutilised opportunity: neurodiverse talent.

Join us for a 30-minute fireside-style conversation with David, where we’ll discuss how businesses can rethink their approach to hiring, tap into hidden talent pools, and build more diverse, high-performing teams.
