But during the interview, something &#8220;doesn&#8217;t click.&#8221; They do not look you in the eye, respond in a very factual or even abrupt manner, seem unsettled by your open-ended questions like &#8220;where do you see yourself in five years?&#8221;, do not &#8220;sell&#8221; their achievements, and appear uncomfortable. Your recruiter\u2019s intuition whispers: &#8220;the connection isn&#8217;t there, they won&#8217;t integrate.&#8221; You move on to the next candidate. You may have just dismissed, unknowingly, a future excellent collaborator \u2014 an autistic candidate whose functioning is simply incompatible with the implicit codes of a traditional interview. The traditional job interview is indeed one of the most unfavorable exercises for autistic individuals: it evaluates as much, if not more, the mastery of social conventions (eye contact, small talk, self-storytelling) as the actual skills for the position. The result: valuable talents are eliminated at a stage that does not measure what really matters. This guide explains why the classic interview disadvantages ASD candidates, how to concretely adapt your process and questions, how to assess real skills rather than social codes, and what strengths these profiles bring \u2014 all while respecting the legal framework of recruitment. A prerequisite: the role of the recruiter is never to diagnose a candidate or presume their functioning, but to build a fair process where everyone can demonstrate their value.<\/pee><\/div>\n<h2>1. Why the classic interview disadvantages autistic candidates<\/h2>\n<h3>1.1 An exercise designed for &#8220;neurotypical&#8221; functioning<\/h3>\n<pee>The traditional job interview relies on a series of implicit social conventions that most recruiters apply without even thinking: establishing &#8220;warm&#8221; eye contact, engaging in a few minutes of small talk to &#8220;break the ice,&#8221; selling oneself with ease, responding quickly to open or abstract questions, decoding the unspoken and adapting one\u2019s speech to the expected register. However, these conventions are not professional skills: they are social codes. For an autistic candidate, they can pose numerous obstacles \u2014 not because they lack skills for the position, but because their cognitive functioning processes social interaction differently.<\/pee>\n<pee>Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by particularities in communication and social interaction, a preference for the concrete and explicit, sometimes heightened sensory sensitivity, and a unique relationship to unwritten conventions. An autistic candidate may thus avoid eye contact (which, for many, increases cognitive load rather than facilitating exchange), take questions literally, need time to formulate a precise response, or be very factual where enthusiasm would be expected. None of this indicates a lack of motivation or competence \u2014 these are manifestations of a different functioning, which the classic interview unfortunately interprets as &#8220;negative signals.&#8221;<\/pee>\n<div class=\"teal-box\"><pee>\ud83e\udde0 <strong>To remember:<\/strong> the absence of eye contact, a monotone voice, or a hesitant handshake say <em>nothing<\/em> about a candidate&#8217;s skills for a position. An interview that penalizes these elements measures conformity to social codes, not professional aptitude. Becoming aware of this bias is the first step towards truly inclusive recruitment.<\/pee><\/div>\n<h3>1.2 The biases that eliminate good candidates<\/h3>\n<pee>The main risk in an unadapted interview is that of affinity bias and intuitive judgment. Recruiters naturally tend to favor candidates with whom &#8220;the connection is there&#8221; \u2014 that is, those who master the same social codes as they do. This mechanism, often unconscious, systematically disadvantages atypical profiles and impoverishes recruitment diversity. An honest and direct autistic candidate may, for example, respond &#8220;I don\u2019t know&#8221; to a question instead of elaborating, which will be perceived as a lack of confidence when it is actually a form of rigor and sincerity.<\/pee>\n<pee>Conversely, certain highly sought-after qualities \u2014 honesty, precision, absence of &#8220;bluff,&#8221; focus on substance \u2014 may go unnoticed or be misinterpreted in a setting that values relational ease. The cost of these biases is twofold: the company deprives itself of competent talents, and it misses out on cognitive diversity, which studies show fosters innovation and performance. Rethinking the interview to neutralize these biases is therefore both an issue of equity and an issue of recruitment performance.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"stats-grid\">\n<div class=\"stat-card blue\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">~1 %<\/span><br \/>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">of the population affected by autism spectrum disorder, meaning many candidates and collaborators<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"stat-card indigo\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">codes \u2260 skills<\/span><br \/>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">the classic interview evaluates mastery of social conventions as much as suitability for the position<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"stat-card pink\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">underemployment<\/span><br \/>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">autistic individuals experience a much lower employment rate than their actual skills<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"stat-card gold\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">lost talents<\/span><br \/>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">an inadequate process eliminates competent profiles right from the interview stage<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>2. Before the interview: preparing an inclusive process<\/h2>\n<pee>A large part of inclusion takes place before the interview. A well-designed process reduces the burden of uncertainty and allows the candidate to present themselves under the best conditions. Here are the levers for inclusive recruitment from the preparation stage.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"step-track\">\n<div class=\"step-row\">\n<div class=\"step-num\">1<\/div>\n<div class=\"step-body\">\n<h5>Write a clear and explicit job offer<\/h5>\n<pee>Clearly describe the missions, skills, and conditions, without jargon or vague formulations (&#8220;good interpersonal skills,&#8221; &#8220;team spirit&#8221; not defined), and mention the company&#8217;s openness to diversity and accommodations.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"step-row\">\n<div class=\"step-num\">2<\/div>\n<div class=\"step-body\">\n<h5>Announce the interview process in advance<\/h5>\n<pee>Communicate who will be present, the duration, the steps, and the type of questions. This predictability significantly reduces anxiety and puts the candidate in a position to give their best.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"step-row\">\n<div class=\"step-num\">3<\/div>\n<div class=\"step-body\">\n<h5>Offer accommodations without imposing them<\/h5>\n<pee>Provide the opportunity (to all candidates) to request adaptations: questions sent in advance, written format, video interview, calm environment \u2014 without ever presuming who needs them.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"step-row\">\n<div class=\"step-num\">4<\/div>\n<div class=\"step-body\">\n<h5>Care for the interview environment<\/h5>\n<pee>Plan a quiet place, without excessive sensory stimulation (noise, harsh light, noisy open space), which benefits everyone&#8217;s comfort and concentration.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"step-row\">\n<div class=\"step-num\">5<\/div>\n<div class=\"step-body\">\n<h5>Prioritize the evaluation of real skills<\/h5>\n<pee>When relevant, plan a situational exercise or practical test related to the position, which is more revealing of aptitudes than a purely conversational interview.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><pee>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>The key principle:<\/strong> all these adaptations should be offered to <em>all<\/em> candidates, never reserved for those suspected of being autistic. On one hand, because presuming a candidate&#8217;s functioning is neither possible nor legitimate; on the other hand, because a clearer, more predictable process focused on skills benefits all candidates \u2014 this is the principle of universal design applied to recruitment.<\/pee><\/div>\n<h2>3. During the interview: adapted posture and questions<\/h2>\n<h3>3.1 Adjusting the recruiter&#8217;s posture<\/h3>\n<pee>During the interview itself, a few adjustments in posture change everything. The first: do not interpret non-verbal cues as a signal of competence or motivation. The absence of eye contact, a little expressive tone, atypical gestures, or silences should never be counted &#8220;negatively.&#8221; The second: allow time. An autistic candidate may need a few extra seconds to formulate a precise response; this processing time is not hesitation, and the recruiter benefits from not filling it in or moving too quickly. The third: be explicit and direct, rephrasing if necessary, rather than relying on the implicit or irony.<\/pee>\n<pee>It is also valuable to move beyond the reflex of intuitive judgment (&#8220;is there a connection?&#8221;) in favor of a structured and factual evaluation: defined criteria in advance, the same questions for everyone, an evaluation grid focused on the skills of the position. This structuring reduces biases for <em>all<\/em> candidates and makes recruitment fairer and more reliable. It is one of the skills developed in the DYNSEO training &#8220;Understanding autism in the workplace.&#8221;<\/pee>\n<h3>3.2 Reformulating questions<\/h3>\n<pee>The type of questions asked makes a major difference. Abstract, hypothetical, or &#8220;trap&#8221; questions (&#8220;what animal would you be?&#8221;, &#8220;where do you see yourself in five years?&#8221;, &#8220;sell me this pen&#8221;) disadvantage candidates who think in a concrete and literal way \u2014 and, by the way, often do not evaluate much that is useful. It is better to prefer direct, concrete questions centered on real situations and the skills of the position. The table below illustrates this transformation.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"process-track\">\n<div class=\"process-step\">\n<div class=\"ps-standard\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u274c Question to avoid<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>\u201cTell me about yourself\u201d<\/h5>\n<pee>Too vague and open: the candidate does not know what is expected (background? personal life? qualities?), which destabilizes profiles that need structure.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ps-adapted\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u2705 Question to prioritize<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>\u201cCan you describe your experience with [specific skill]?\u201d<\/h5>\n<pee>Targeted and concrete: it allows the candidate to demonstrate a real and relevant skill for the position.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"process-step\">\n<div class=\"ps-standard\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u274c Question to avoid<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>\u201cWhere do you see yourself in five years?\u201d<\/h5>\n<pee>Hypothetical and abstract: it values storytelling more than aptitude, and penalizes literal and honest candidates.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ps-adapted\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u2705 Question to prioritize<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>\u201cWhat skills would you like to develop in this position?\u201d<\/h5>\n<pee>Concrete and actionable: it sheds light on real motivations without requiring an artificial projection.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"process-step\">\n<div class=\"ps-standard\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u274c Question to avoid<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>\u201cGive me your three weaknesses\u201d<\/h5>\n<pee>Coded question that expects a &#8220;strategic&#8221; answer: an honest and literal candidate responds disarmingly, which is misinterpreted.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"ps-adapted\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u2705 Question to prioritize<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>\u201cIn the face of [specific situation of the position], how would you proceed?\u201d<\/h5>\n<pee>Real situational exercise: it evaluates the approach and skills rather than mastery of an interview code.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"formation-block\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/courses\/comprendre-lautism-en-milieu-professionnel\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fb-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Stimuler-et-creer-du-lien-4.png\" alt=\"Training Understanding autism in the workplace \u2014 DYNSEO\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-body\">\n<div class=\"fb-tag\">\ud83c\udf93 Certifying training \u00b7 Qualiopi No. 11757351875<\/div>\n<h3>Understanding autism in the workplace<\/h3>\n<pee>Designed for recruiters, managers, HR, executives, and disability mission, this online training provides the keys to understanding the functioning of autistic individuals (ASD), adapting recruitment and interviews, implementing accommodations, communicating effectively, and valuing the strengths of these profiles.

Assess real skills, not social codes<\/h2>\n<pee>The heart of inclusive recruitment lies in a shift in perspective: assess what the candidate can do for the position, not their ability to perform socially in an interview. Several concrete methods allow this refocusing. Situational exercises and practical tests related to the position (solving a real problem, analyzing a case, performing a technical exercise) are much more revealing of aptitudes than conversation alone, and they place all candidates on an equitable ground. Concrete behavioral questions (&#8220;describe a situation where you&#8230;&#8221;) are better than abstract questions. Finally, a predefined evaluation grid focused on the key skills of the position disciplines judgment and neutralizes affinity biases.<\/pee>\n<pee>This refocusing on skills has a benefit that goes beyond the inclusion of autistic candidates: it improves the quality and reliability of <em>all<\/em> recruitments. A process that measures actual abilities rather than relational ease selects better profiles, reduces casting errors, and diversifies teams. Inclusion here is not a constraint added to recruitment: it is a lever that makes it better.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table class=\"dynseo-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>What the classic interview measures<\/th>\n<th>What an inclusive process measures<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Social ease and eye contact<\/td>\n<td>Technical and professional skills<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The ability to &#8220;sell oneself&#8221; and elaborate<\/td>\n<td>The actual approach to a concrete situation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mastery of coded questions<\/td>\n<td>Experience and verifiable achievements<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The &#8220;feeling&#8221; and affinity bias<\/td>\n<td>Defined criteria and a structured grid<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Conformity to unwritten conventions<\/td>\n<td>Suitability to the actual requirements of the position<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>5. Value the strengths of autistic profiles<\/h2>\n<pee>Adapting recruitment is not a favor: it is the condition for accessing talents whose strengths are often particularly sought after. In an adapted environment, many autistic individuals develop valuable professional assets \u2014 provided that the recruitment process allows them to reveal these rather than hide them behind social codes.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"signal-grid\">\n<div class=\"signal-card\">\n<h5>\ud83c\udfaf Rigor &#038; reliability<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Great precision and attention to detail<\/li>\n<li>Scrupulous adherence to procedures and instructions<\/li>\n<li>Consistency and reliability in execution<\/li>\n<li>Fine detection of errors and inconsistencies<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"signal-card\">\n<h5>\ud83d\udd2c Concentration &#038; expertise<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Ability for intense and sustained concentration<\/li>\n<li>Expert deepening of an area of interest<\/li>\n<li>Memory and mastery of complex data<\/li>\n<li>Logical and analytical thinking<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"signal-card\">\n<h5>\ud83d\udc8e Honesty &#038; directness<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Sincerity and absence of &#8220;bluff&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Directness and reliability of speech<\/li>\n<li>Sense of fairness and justice<\/li>\n<li>Loyalty and commitment<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"signal-card\">\n<h5>\ud83d\udca1 Fresh perspective<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Non-conventional and original thinking<\/li>\n<li>Ability to spot what others do not see<\/li>\n<li>Different approach to problems<\/li>\n<li>Source of cognitive diversity for the team<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<pee>These strengths explain why more and more companies are developing recruitment programs dedicated to neurodiverse profiles, particularly in fields such as IT, data analysis, quality control, research, or finance \u2014 but they are actually valuable in a wide variety of jobs. The common point of these initiatives: they have understood that adapting recruitment is not about lowering standards, but about accessing a pool of talents that traditional processes left behind.<\/pee>\n<h2>6. The legal framework for inclusive recruitment<\/h2>\n<pee>Recruiting inclusively falls within a precise legal framework. The fundamental principle is <strong>non-discrimination in hiring<\/strong>: the Labor Code prohibits dismissing a candidate due to their disability or health condition, and mandates equal treatment. The <strong>law of February 11, 2005<\/strong> establishes the principle of reasonable accommodation, applicable from the recruitment process onwards. The <strong>RQTH<\/strong> (via MDPH\/CDAPH) remains a voluntary and confidential process: a candidate is never required to mention it, and the recruiter cannot demand it or question the candidate about their health. The <strong>OETH<\/strong> (6% for companies with at least 20 employees, via the <strong>DOETH<\/strong>) and the funds <strong>AGEFIPH<\/strong>\/<strong>FIPHFP<\/strong> support the employment and accommodation of disabled workers.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table class=\"dynseo-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Reference<\/th>\n<th>What it implies for recruitment<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Non-discrimination in hiring<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Prohibits dismissing a candidate for their disability or health; equal treatment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Law of February 11, 2005<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Principle of reasonable accommodation, applicable from recruitment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>RQTH (MDPH \/ CDAPH)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Voluntary and confidential process; neither required nor to be questioned<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Questions about health<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Prohibited; only the occupational physician assesses fitness<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>OETH \u2014 6% \/ DOETH<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Framework for the employment of disabled workers; the RQTH employee is counted<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>AGEFIPH \/ FIPHFP<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Can co-finance accommodations and support for hiring<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"teal-box\"><pee>\u2696\ufe0f <strong>The right reflex:<\/strong> the recruiter does not diagnose and never questions a candidate about their health or potential disability.

How to know if a candidate is autistic during an interview?<\/h4>\n<pee>You neither need to know it nor to look for it. The role of the recruiter is never to diagnose a candidate or to presume their functioning \u2014 that would be both illegitimate and legally risky (health questions are prohibited). The inclusive approach is not about &#8220;spotting&#8221; autistic candidates to treat them differently, but about building a fair process that allows all profiles to demonstrate their skills. Specifically: offer the same possible accommodations to everyone, ask concrete questions focused on the position, use a structured evaluation grid, and do not penalize non-verbal communication. A good inclusive process benefits all candidates, without the need \u2014 or desire \u2014 to identify anyone.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>2. Why does the traditional interview disadvantage autistic candidates?<\/h4>\n<pee>Because it evaluates as much, if not more, the mastery of social codes than actual skills. The traditional interview relies on implicit conventions: &#8220;warm&#8221; eye contact, small talk, ability to &#8220;sell oneself,&#8221; fluid responses to open or abstract questions, decoding the unspoken. However, these codes are not professional skills, and autistic functioning treats them differently: an ASD candidate may avoid eye contact (which increases their cognitive load), take questions literally, need time to respond precisely, or be very factual where enthusiasm is expected. None of this indicates a lack of competence, but the traditional interview interprets it as negative signals \u2014 thus sidelining valuable talents.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>3. What accommodations should be offered for the interview?<\/h4>\n<pee>Several simple accommodations make a big difference, to be offered to all candidates: communicate in advance the outline of the interview (who, how long, what steps, what type of questions), offer the possibility to receive questions beforehand, propose alternative formats (written, video) if the candidate wishes, and ensure a suitable environment (quiet place, without excessive sensory stimulation). During the interview: ask concrete rather than abstract questions, allow time to respond, be explicit and direct, and do not interpret non-verbal communication. Finally, prioritize when possible a situational exercise or a practical test related to the position. All these accommodations should be open to all candidates, never reserved for those suspected of being autistic.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>4. What questions to ask (and which to avoid)?<\/h4>\n<pee>To avoid: abstract, hypothetical, or &#8220;trap&#8221; questions (&#8220;what animal would you be?&#8221;, &#8220;where do you see yourself in five years?&#8221;, &#8220;sell me this pen&#8221;, &#8220;give me three flaws&#8221;). They value storytelling and mastery of interview codes rather than skills, and disadvantage candidates who think in a concrete and literal way \u2014 without actually assessing anything useful. To prioritize: direct and concrete questions, focused on real situations and the skills required for the position (&#8220;describe your experience with this skill&#8221;, &#8220;faced with this concrete situation, how would you proceed?&#8221;, &#8220;what skills do you wish to develop here?&#8221;). These questions allow the candidate to demonstrate their real value and make the evaluation more reliable for everyone.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>5. Adapting recruitment, isn&#8217;t it lowering expectations?<\/h4>\n<pee>No, it&#8217;s actually the opposite. Adapting recruitment is not about lowering the expected level, but about better measuring actual skills by stopping the evaluation of social codes that have nothing to do with job suitability. A process refocused on skills (situational exercises, concrete questions, structured grid) selects better profiles, reduces casting errors, and neutralizes affinity biases \u2014 for all candidates, not just autistic profiles. Inclusion does not add a constraint to recruitment: it makes it fairer, more reliable, and more effective, while providing access to a pool of talents that traditional processes overlooked.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>6. What strengths do autistic profiles bring to the company?<\/h4>\n<pee>In a suitable environment, many autistic individuals develop highly sought-after strengths: rigor and attention to detail, reliability and consistency, scrupulous adherence to procedures, fine error detection, intense and sustained concentration, deep expertise in a field, logical and analytical thinking, honesty and absence of &#8220;bluff&#8221;, loyalty, and often a fresh and unconventional perspective on problems. These strengths are valuable in a wide variety of professions \u2014 IT, data analysis, quality control, research, finance, and well beyond. It is essential that the recruitment process allows them to shine rather than hide behind social codes: this is the whole challenge of an adapted interview.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>7. Can a candidate be questioned about a possible disability or a RQTH?<\/h4>\n<pee>No. Questions related to health or a possible disability are prohibited during recruitment, and the principle of non-discrimination in hiring prohibits dismissing a candidate for these reasons. The RQTH is a strictly voluntary and confidential process: a candidate is never obliged to mention it, and the recruiter cannot require or question them about it. Only the occupational physician is authorized to assess job suitability. If a candidate voluntarily chooses to share their situation or request an accommodation, it is their initiative \u2014 and it should never work against them. The right framework for the recruiter: offer a fair process and accommodations open to all, without ever questioning health.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h4>8. Should recruiters and managers be trained?<\/h4>\n<pee>Yes, because the main barrier is not technical but cultural: it relates to the reflexes and biases of the people who recruit. An untrained recruiter spontaneously interprets atypical non-verbal communication as a negative signal, favors candidates with whom &#8220;the connection flows,&#8221; and asks questions that disadvantage atypical profiles \u2014 all in good faith. A trained recruiter knows how to neutralize these biases, structure the interview, ask concrete questions, offer accommodations, and highlight the strengths of autistic candidates. DYNSEO&#8217;s training &#8220;Understanding Autism in the Workplace,&#8221; certified Qualiopi and 100% online, provides these guidelines. It covers the entire process \u2014 from recruitment to integration and management \u2014 and can be delivered in-house or inter-company.<\/pee>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"cta-block\">\n<h3>\ud83d\ude80 Make inclusion an asset in your recruitment<\/h3>\n<pee>An inclusive recruitment reveals talents and strengthens the quality of your hires.

But during the interview, something \"doesn't click.\" They do not look you in the eye, respond in a very factual or even abrupt manner, seem unsettled by your open-ended questions like \"where do you see yourself in five years?\", do not \"sell\" their achievements, and appear uncomfortable. Your recruiter\u2019s intuition whispers: \"the connection isn't there, they won't integrate.\" You move on to the next candidate. You may have just dismissed, unknowingly, a future excellent collaborator \u2014 an autistic candidate whose functioning is simply incompatible with the implicit codes of a traditional interview. The traditional job interview is indeed one of the most unfavorable exercises for autistic individuals: it evaluates as much, if not more, the mastery of social conventions (eye contact, small talk, self-storytelling) as the actual skills for the position. The result: valuable talents are eliminated at a stage that does not measure what really matters. This guide explains why the classic interview disadvantages ASD candidates, how to concretely adapt your process and questions, how to assess real skills rather than social codes, and what strengths these profiles bring \u2014 all while respecting the legal framework of recruitment. A prerequisite: the role of the recruiter is never to diagnose a candidate or presume their functioning, but to build a fair process where everyone can demonstrate their value.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<h2>1. Why the classic interview disadvantages autistic candidates<\/h2>\n\n<h3>1.1 An exercise designed for \"neurotypical\" functioning<\/h3>\n<p>The traditional job interview relies on a series of implicit social conventions that most recruiters apply without even thinking: establishing \"warm\" eye contact, engaging in a few minutes of small talk to \"break the ice,\" selling oneself with ease, responding quickly to open or abstract questions, decoding the unspoken and adapting one\u2019s speech to the expected register. However, these conventions are not professional skills: they are social codes. For an autistic candidate, they can pose numerous obstacles \u2014 not because they lack skills for the position, but because their cognitive functioning processes social interaction differently.<\/p>\n<p>Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by particularities in communication and social interaction, a preference for the concrete and explicit, sometimes heightened sensory sensitivity, and a unique relationship to unwritten conventions. An autistic candidate may thus avoid eye contact (which, for many, increases cognitive load rather than facilitating exchange), take questions literally, need time to formulate a precise response, or be very factual where enthusiasm would be expected. None of this indicates a lack of motivation or competence \u2014 these are manifestations of a different functioning, which the classic interview unfortunately interprets as \"negative signals.\"<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"teal-box\"><p>\ud83e\udde0 <strong>To remember:<\/strong> the absence of eye contact, a monotone voice, or a hesitant handshake say <em>nothing<\/em> about a candidate's skills for a position. An interview that penalizes these elements measures conformity to social codes, not professional aptitude. Becoming aware of this bias is the first step towards truly inclusive recruitment.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<h3>1.2 The biases that eliminate good candidates<\/h3>\n<p>The main risk in an unadapted interview is that of affinity bias and intuitive judgment. Recruiters naturally tend to favor candidates with whom \"the connection is there\" \u2014 that is, those who master the same social codes as they do. This mechanism, often unconscious, systematically disadvantages atypical profiles and impoverishes recruitment diversity. An honest and direct autistic candidate may, for example, respond \"I don\u2019t know\" to a question instead of elaborating, which will be perceived as a lack of confidence when it is actually a form of rigor and sincerity.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, certain highly sought-after qualities \u2014 honesty, precision, absence of \"bluff,\" focus on substance \u2014 may go unnoticed or be misinterpreted in a setting that values relational ease. The cost of these biases is twofold: the company deprives itself of competent talents, and it misses out on cognitive diversity, which studies show fosters innovation and performance. Rethinking the interview to neutralize these biases is therefore both an issue of equity and an issue of recruitment performance.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"stats-grid\">\n  <div class=\"stat-card blue\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">~1 %<\/span>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">of the population affected by autism spectrum disorder, meaning many candidates and collaborators<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"stat-card indigo\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">codes \u2260 skills<\/span>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">the classic interview evaluates mastery of social conventions as much as suitability for the position<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"stat-card pink\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">underemployment<\/span>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">autistic individuals experience a much lower employment rate than their actual skills<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"stat-card gold\">\n    <span class=\"stat-num\">lost talents<\/span>\n    <span class=\"stat-label\">an inadequate process eliminates competent profiles right from the interview stage<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>2. Before the interview: preparing an inclusive process<\/h2>\n<p>A large part of inclusion takes place before the interview. A well-designed process reduces the burden of uncertainty and allows the candidate to present themselves under the best conditions. Here are the levers for inclusive recruitment from the preparation stage.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"step-track\">\n  <div class=\"step-row\">\n    <div class=\"step-num\">1<\/div>\n    <div class=\"step-body\">\n      <h5>Write a clear and explicit job offer<\/h5>\n      <p>Clearly describe the missions, skills, and conditions, without jargon or vague formulations (\"good interpersonal skills,\" \"team spirit\" not defined), and mention the company's openness to diversity and accommodations.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"step-row\">\n    <div class=\"step-num\">2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"step-body\">\n      <h5>Announce the interview process in advance<\/h5>\n      <p>Communicate who will be present, the duration, the steps, and the type of questions. This predictability significantly reduces anxiety and puts the candidate in a position to give their best.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"step-row\">\n    <div class=\"step-num\">3<\/div>\n    <div class=\"step-body\">\n      <h5>Offer accommodations without imposing them<\/h5>\n      <p>Provide the opportunity (to all candidates) to request adaptations: questions sent in advance, written format, video interview, calm environment \u2014 without ever presuming who needs them.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"step-row\">\n    <div class=\"step-num\">4<\/div>\n    <div class=\"step-body\">\n      <h5>Care for the interview environment<\/h5>\n      <p>Plan a quiet place, without excessive sensory stimulation (noise, harsh light, noisy open space), which benefits everyone's comfort and concentration.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"step-row\">\n    <div class=\"step-num\">5<\/div>\n    <div class=\"step-body\">\n      <h5>Prioritize the evaluation of real skills<\/h5>\n      <p>When relevant, plan a situational exercise or practical test related to the position, which is more revealing of aptitudes than a purely conversational interview.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>The key principle:<\/strong> all these adaptations should be offered to <em>all<\/em> candidates, never reserved for those suspected of being autistic. On one hand, because presuming a candidate's functioning is neither possible nor legitimate; on the other hand, because a clearer, more predictable process focused on skills benefits all candidates \u2014 this is the principle of universal design applied to recruitment.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<h2>3. During the interview: adapted posture and questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3>3.1 Adjusting the recruiter's posture<\/h3>\n<p>During the interview itself, a few adjustments in posture change everything. The first: do not interpret non-verbal cues as a signal of competence or motivation. The absence of eye contact, a little expressive tone, atypical gestures, or silences should never be counted \"negatively.\" The second: allow time. An autistic candidate may need a few extra seconds to formulate a precise response; this processing time is not hesitation, and the recruiter benefits from not filling it in or moving too quickly. The third: be explicit and direct, rephrasing if necessary, rather than relying on the implicit or irony.<\/p>\n<p>It is also valuable to move beyond the reflex of intuitive judgment (\"is there a connection?\") in favor of a structured and factual evaluation: defined criteria in advance, the same questions for everyone, an evaluation grid focused on the skills of the position. This structuring reduces biases for <em>all<\/em> candidates and makes recruitment fairer and more reliable. It is one of the skills developed in the DYNSEO training \"Understanding autism in the workplace.\"<\/p>\n\n<h3>3.2 Reformulating questions<\/h3>\n<p>The type of questions asked makes a major difference. Abstract, hypothetical, or \"trap\" questions (\"what animal would you be?\", \"where do you see yourself in five years?\", \"sell me this pen\") disadvantage candidates who think in a concrete and literal way \u2014 and, by the way, often do not evaluate much that is useful. It is better to prefer direct, concrete questions centered on real situations and the skills of the position. The table below illustrates this transformation.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"process-track\">\n  <div class=\"process-step\">\n    <div class=\"ps-standard\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u274c Question to avoid<\/span>\n      <h5>\u201cTell me about yourself\u201d<\/h5>\n      <p>Too vague and open: the candidate does not know what is expected (background? personal life? qualities?), which destabilizes profiles that need structure.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ps-adapted\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u2705 Question to prioritize<\/span>\n      <h5>\u201cCan you describe your experience with [specific skill]?\u201d<\/h5>\n      <p>Targeted and concrete: it allows the candidate to demonstrate a real and relevant skill for the position.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"process-step\">\n    <div class=\"ps-standard\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u274c Question to avoid<\/span>\n      <h5>\u201cWhere do you see yourself in five years?\u201d<\/h5>\n      <p>Hypothetical and abstract: it values storytelling more than aptitude, and penalizes literal and honest candidates.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ps-adapted\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u2705 Question to prioritize<\/span>\n      <h5>\u201cWhat skills would you like to develop in this position?\u201d<\/h5>\n      <p>Concrete and actionable: it sheds light on real motivations without requiring an artificial projection.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"process-step\">\n    <div class=\"ps-standard\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u274c Question to avoid<\/span>\n      <h5>\u201cGive me your three weaknesses\u201d<\/h5>\n      <p>Coded question that expects a \"strategic\" answer: an honest and literal candidate responds disarmingly, which is misinterpreted.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"ps-adapted\">\n      <span class=\"ps-label\">\u2705 Question to prioritize<\/span>\n      <h5>\u201cIn the face of [specific situation of the position], how would you proceed?\u201d<\/h5>\n      <p>Real situational exercise: it evaluates the approach and skills rather than mastery of an interview code.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"formation-block\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/courses\/comprendre-lautism-en-milieu-professionnel\/\"><img class=\"fb-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Stimuler-et-creer-du-lien-4.png\" alt=\"Training Understanding autism in the workplace \u2014 DYNSEO\"><\/a>\n  <div class=\"fb-body\">\n    <div class=\"fb-tag\">\ud83c\udf93 Certifying training \u00b7 Qualiopi No. 11757351875<\/div>\n    <h3>Understanding autism in the workplace<\/h3>\n    <p>Designed for recruiters, managers, HR, executives, and disability mission, this online training provides the keys to understanding the functioning of autistic individuals (ASD), adapting recruitment and interviews, implementing accommodations, communicating effectively, and valuing the strengths of these profiles.

Assess real skills, not social codes<\/h2>\n<p>The heart of inclusive recruitment lies in a shift in perspective: assess what the candidate can do for the position, not their ability to perform socially in an interview. Several concrete methods allow this refocusing. Situational exercises and practical tests related to the position (solving a real problem, analyzing a case, performing a technical exercise) are much more revealing of aptitudes than conversation alone, and they place all candidates on an equitable ground. Concrete behavioral questions (\"describe a situation where you...\") are better than abstract questions. Finally, a predefined evaluation grid focused on the key skills of the position disciplines judgment and neutralizes affinity biases.<\/p>\n<p>This refocusing on skills has a benefit that goes beyond the inclusion of autistic candidates: it improves the quality and reliability of <em>all<\/em> recruitments. A process that measures actual abilities rather than relational ease selects better profiles, reduces casting errors, and diversifies teams. Inclusion here is not a constraint added to recruitment: it is a lever that makes it better.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table class=\"dynseo-table\">\n  <thead>\n    <tr>\n      <th>What the classic interview measures<\/th>\n      <th>What an inclusive process measures<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Social ease and eye contact<\/td>\n      <td>Technical and professional skills<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>The ability to \"sell oneself\" and elaborate<\/td>\n      <td>The actual approach to a concrete situation<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Mastery of coded questions<\/td>\n      <td>Experience and verifiable achievements<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>The \"feeling\" and affinity bias<\/td>\n      <td>Defined criteria and a structured grid<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Conformity to unwritten conventions<\/td>\n      <td>Suitability to the actual requirements of the position<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>5. Value the strengths of autistic profiles<\/h2>\n<p>Adapting recruitment is not a favor: it is the condition for accessing talents whose strengths are often particularly sought after. In an adapted environment, many autistic individuals develop valuable professional assets \u2014 provided that the recruitment process allows them to reveal these rather than hide them behind social codes.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"signal-grid\">\n  <div class=\"signal-card\">\n    <h5>\ud83c\udfaf Rigor & reliability<\/h5>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Great precision and attention to detail<\/li>\n      <li>Scrupulous adherence to procedures and instructions<\/li>\n      <li>Consistency and reliability in execution<\/li>\n      <li>Fine detection of errors and inconsistencies<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"signal-card\">\n    <h5>\ud83d\udd2c Concentration & expertise<\/h5>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Ability for intense and sustained concentration<\/li>\n      <li>Expert deepening of an area of interest<\/li>\n      <li>Memory and mastery of complex data<\/li>\n      <li>Logical and analytical thinking<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"signal-card\">\n    <h5>\ud83d\udc8e Honesty & directness<\/h5>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Sincerity and absence of \"bluff\"<\/li>\n      <li>Directness and reliability of speech<\/li>\n      <li>Sense of fairness and justice<\/li>\n      <li>Loyalty and commitment<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"signal-card\">\n    <h5>\ud83d\udca1 Fresh perspective<\/h5>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Non-conventional and original thinking<\/li>\n      <li>Ability to spot what others do not see<\/li>\n      <li>Different approach to problems<\/li>\n      <li>Source of cognitive diversity for the team<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>These strengths explain why more and more companies are developing recruitment programs dedicated to neurodiverse profiles, particularly in fields such as IT, data analysis, quality control, research, or finance \u2014 but they are actually valuable in a wide variety of jobs. The common point of these initiatives: they have understood that adapting recruitment is not about lowering standards, but about accessing a pool of talents that traditional processes left behind.<\/p>\n\n<h2>6. The legal framework for inclusive recruitment<\/h2>\n<p>Recruiting inclusively falls within a precise legal framework. The fundamental principle is <strong>non-discrimination in hiring<\/strong>: the Labor Code prohibits dismissing a candidate due to their disability or health condition, and mandates equal treatment. The <strong>law of February 11, 2005<\/strong> establishes the principle of reasonable accommodation, applicable from the recruitment process onwards. The <strong>RQTH<\/strong> (via MDPH\/CDAPH) remains a voluntary and confidential process: a candidate is never required to mention it, and the recruiter cannot demand it or question the candidate about their health. The <strong>OETH<\/strong> (6% for companies with at least 20 employees, via the <strong>DOETH<\/strong>) and the funds <strong>AGEFIPH<\/strong>\/<strong>FIPHFP<\/strong> support the employment and accommodation of disabled workers.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"table-scroll\">\n<table class=\"dynseo-table\">\n  <thead>\n    <tr>\n      <th>Reference<\/th>\n      <th>What it implies for recruitment<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>Non-discrimination in hiring<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>Prohibits dismissing a candidate for their disability or health; equal treatment<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>Law of February 11, 2005<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>Principle of reasonable accommodation, applicable from recruitment<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>RQTH (MDPH \/ CDAPH)<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>Voluntary and confidential process; neither required nor to be questioned<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>Questions about health<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>Prohibited; only the occupational physician assesses fitness<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>OETH \u2014 6% \/ DOETH<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>Framework for the employment of disabled workers; the RQTH employee is counted<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>AGEFIPH \/ FIPHFP<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>Can co-finance accommodations and support for hiring<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"teal-box\"><p>\u2696\ufe0f <strong>The right reflex:<\/strong> the recruiter does not diagnose and never questions a candidate about their health or potential disability. Their role is to propose a fair process and offer everyone the opportunity to request accommodations. If a candidate chooses to share their situation, it is their initiative \u2014 and it should never work against them. Beyond compliance, inclusion nourishes the employer brand and fits into the CSR, ESG strategy, and the equality index.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<h2>7.

How to know if a candidate is autistic during an interview?<\/h4>\n      <p>You neither need to know it nor to look for it. The role of the recruiter is never to diagnose a candidate or to presume their functioning \u2014 that would be both illegitimate and legally risky (health questions are prohibited). The inclusive approach is not about \"spotting\" autistic candidates to treat them differently, but about building a fair process that allows all profiles to demonstrate their skills. Specifically: offer the same possible accommodations to everyone, ask concrete questions focused on the position, use a structured evaluation grid, and do not penalize non-verbal communication. A good inclusive process benefits all candidates, without the need \u2014 or desire \u2014 to identify anyone.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>2. Why does the traditional interview disadvantage autistic candidates?<\/h4>\n      <p>Because it evaluates as much, if not more, the mastery of social codes than actual skills. The traditional interview relies on implicit conventions: \"warm\" eye contact, small talk, ability to \"sell oneself,\" fluid responses to open or abstract questions, decoding the unspoken. However, these codes are not professional skills, and autistic functioning treats them differently: an ASD candidate may avoid eye contact (which increases their cognitive load), take questions literally, need time to respond precisely, or be very factual where enthusiasm is expected. None of this indicates a lack of competence, but the traditional interview interprets it as negative signals \u2014 thus sidelining valuable talents.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>3. What accommodations should be offered for the interview?<\/h4>\n      <p>Several simple accommodations make a big difference, to be offered to all candidates: communicate in advance the outline of the interview (who, how long, what steps, what type of questions), offer the possibility to receive questions beforehand, propose alternative formats (written, video) if the candidate wishes, and ensure a suitable environment (quiet place, without excessive sensory stimulation). During the interview: ask concrete rather than abstract questions, allow time to respond, be explicit and direct, and do not interpret non-verbal communication. Finally, prioritize when possible a situational exercise or a practical test related to the position. All these accommodations should be open to all candidates, never reserved for those suspected of being autistic.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>4. What questions to ask (and which to avoid)?<\/h4>\n      <p>To avoid: abstract, hypothetical, or \"trap\" questions (\"what animal would you be?\", \"where do you see yourself in five years?\", \"sell me this pen\", \"give me three flaws\"). They value storytelling and mastery of interview codes rather than skills, and disadvantage candidates who think in a concrete and literal way \u2014 without actually assessing anything useful. To prioritize: direct and concrete questions, focused on real situations and the skills required for the position (\"describe your experience with this skill\", \"faced with this concrete situation, how would you proceed?\", \"what skills do you wish to develop here?\"). These questions allow the candidate to demonstrate their real value and make the evaluation more reliable for everyone.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>5. Adapting recruitment, isn't it lowering expectations?<\/h4>\n      <p>No, it's actually the opposite. Adapting recruitment is not about lowering the expected level, but about better measuring actual skills by stopping the evaluation of social codes that have nothing to do with job suitability. A process refocused on skills (situational exercises, concrete questions, structured grid) selects better profiles, reduces casting errors, and neutralizes affinity biases \u2014 for all candidates, not just autistic profiles. Inclusion does not add a constraint to recruitment: it makes it fairer, more reliable, and more effective, while providing access to a pool of talents that traditional processes overlooked.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>6. What strengths do autistic profiles bring to the company?<\/h4>\n      <p>In a suitable environment, many autistic individuals develop highly sought-after strengths: rigor and attention to detail, reliability and consistency, scrupulous adherence to procedures, fine error detection, intense and sustained concentration, deep expertise in a field, logical and analytical thinking, honesty and absence of \"bluff\", loyalty, and often a fresh and unconventional perspective on problems. These strengths are valuable in a wide variety of professions \u2014 IT, data analysis, quality control, research, finance, and well beyond. It is essential that the recruitment process allows them to shine rather than hide behind social codes: this is the whole challenge of an adapted interview.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>7. Can a candidate be questioned about a possible disability or a RQTH?<\/h4>\n      <p>No. Questions related to health or a possible disability are prohibited during recruitment, and the principle of non-discrimination in hiring prohibits dismissing a candidate for these reasons. The RQTH is a strictly voluntary and confidential process: a candidate is never obliged to mention it, and the recruiter cannot require or question them about it. Only the occupational physician is authorized to assess job suitability. If a candidate voluntarily chooses to share their situation or request an accommodation, it is their initiative \u2014 and it should never work against them. The right framework for the recruiter: offer a fair process and accommodations open to all, without ever questioning health.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h4>8. Should recruiters and managers be trained?<\/h4>\n      <p>Yes, because the main barrier is not technical but cultural: it relates to the reflexes and biases of the people who recruit. An untrained recruiter spontaneously interprets atypical non-verbal communication as a negative signal, favors candidates with whom \"the connection flows,\" and asks questions that disadvantage atypical profiles \u2014 all in good faith. A trained recruiter knows how to neutralize these biases, structure the interview, ask concrete questions, offer accommodations, and highlight the strengths of autistic candidates. DYNSEO's training \"Understanding Autism in the Workplace,\" certified Qualiopi and 100% online, provides these guidelines. It covers the entire process \u2014 from recruitment to integration and management \u2014 and can be delivered in-house or inter-company.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"cta-block\">\n  <h3>\ud83d\ude80 Make inclusion an asset in your recruitment<\/h3>\n  <p>An inclusive recruitment reveals talents and strengthens the quality of your hires.
