Employers
Attracting and harnessing neurodiverse talents provides advantages for all.
Every organisation will have neurodiverse people (1 in 8 in the general population) but every person will be very different. Taking a labelling approach, where people with dyslexia need ‘X’ support and people with Autism need ‘Y’ support is not always effective.
Being confident in knowing how to support each employee to maximise their skills can be a challenge, without the appropriate knowledge and expertise.
Neurodiversity Profiler allows an accurate understanding of each person’s strengths and challenges and their ‘spiky profile’, enables you as the employer to have better and more informed conversations. It provides line managers and HR staff guidance and the knowledge to make reasonable adjustments when required.
Reassuringly developed by experts. Practical in delivery. Taking a Person – centred approach approach.

Testimonials
Admiral
“Here at Admiral, we were interested in exploring Psychometric testing in Recruitment. We wanted to identify what ‘great’ looks like in specific departments across the business and use this measure to enhance our selection process. We began with a benchmark of companies that provide psychometric testing. After a broad analysis of several potential providers, we opted for Do-IT who do things differently.
It was Amanda’s passion for the field that convinced us. Her attention to detail and determination to find the right solutions for businesses such as ours meant we were able to work together to develop our own bespoke tools.
Rather than settling for an off-the-shelf solution, Amanda recognised that Admiral wanted a tool that was in line with our company values: non-judgmental, non- discriminatory, user friendly, efficient. The entire process with Amanda was transparent meaning we could test and learn along the way, resulting in a tailor-made product.
We were very satisfied with the results the tools produced and have confidence in their value for our recruitment process. Candidates, Recruitment Managers and Department Managers alike have found the tool useful and we are looking forward to developing it further and discovering more opportunities to use Do-IT across the business!”
