Ready to start you journey to building a more neuro-inclusive recruitment process?

This comprehensive assessment evaluates your organisation's recruitment processes through a neurodiversity lens. By completing this detailed assessment, you'll receive a snapshot of your current practices and an understanding of the maturity of your current recruitment lifecycle from a neuro-inclusive perspective.

This assessment examines the systemic challenges, hidden barriers, and missed opportunities that prevent organisations from accessing neurodivergent talent effectively - not just what's visible on the surface.

Your responses will contribute to the first dedicated neurodiversity recruitment benchmark, helping to build a picture of where organisations are on this journey. You'll receive your individual results immediately, and when the benchmark publishes in September 2026, you'll be able to see how you compare.

INSTRUCTIONS

How to complete the Assessment.

PegSquared's Neurodiversity Recruitment Assessment is made up of 96 questions split into ten categories. For each question you will be asked to score your organisation using a simple scale - most are three-option choices, with some yes/no and a handful scored one to five.

For the best results:

Answer Based on Reality, Not Intentions

Respond based on what actually happens in your organisation today, not what's documented in policy or what you plan to do. If guidance exists but hiring managers don't consistently follow it, that's important to capture honestly. This assessment measures practice, not aspiration - and honest answers lead to the most useful recommendations.

Answering for Your Organisation

Answer for the area of recruitment you know best — don't try to speak for processes you don't have visibility of. If you're not actively hiring right now, answer based on your most recent recruitment. Large or multi-team organisations are welcome to complete the assessment more than once to cover different recruitment streams separately.

Involve the Right People

This is best completed by someone with visibility across your full recruitment process - typically a senior recruitment or talent acquisition lead. If you're unsure how things work at certain stages (for example, what happens in interviews run by hiring managers), check with colleagues rather than guessing. The more accurate your picture, the more valuable your results.

Internal Recruitment only?

The assessment covers both internal and external recruitment. Most questions apply to both - job descriptions, interviews, assessments, and candidate experience matter whether you're hiring externally or moving people internally. If a question doesn't apply to your recruitment activity (for example, careers website visibility when you only recruit internally), select the 'Not Applicable' option or answer based on your primary recruitment approach.

Consider All Recruitment Stages

Think holistically about your entire recruitment journey from job design through to onboarding. Neurodiversity inclusion requires consistency across all touchpoints - strengths in one area can be undermined by gaps in another.

Block Out Dedicated Time

If possible, complete the assessment in one sitting (approximately 30–45 minutes). Your progress is saved, so if you do need to take a break, you'll receive an email allowing you to pick up where you left off.

Data Capture vs Recruitment Assessment

The initial questions capture context about your organisation (size, sector, region). These are not scored - they help us segment the benchmark data and ensure your recommendations are relevant. Please answer for a single country or region if you operate across multiple locations.

Your Data

Your individual responses are confidential to you. Benchmark data will only ever be published in aggregated, anonymised form. You will never be identified without your explicit permission.
