💥 This one’s a game-changer. We’re live from the RCSA Talent X event with powerhouse advocate and trainer Aisling Smith, breaking down exactly how to tap into one of the most under-celebrated talent pools in recruitment today.

Aisling isn’t just any expert. She’s the Neurodiversity Trainer of the Year, a 40 Under 40 Business Elite Award recipient, and a Stevie Award-winning Social Change Maker in Disability. She’s also a late-diagnosed autistic woman with ADHD, and a mum to a neurodivergent child. Her work? Deeply personal and unapologetically real.

From busting the myths about neurodivergent talent to showing recruiters and hiring managers what inclusive hiring actually looks like, this episode’s full of the stuff we all need to hear. 🚀

Here’s what we cover:

- Aisling’s powerful story - why she’s so driven to create safer, smarter workplaces for neurodivergent people.

- Why hiring processes still exclude some of the most focused, innovative, and resilient candidates out there.

- The so-called "fair" hiring practices that are anything but..

- The tiny changes that make a huge difference.

- How managers can stop worrying about "getting it wrong" and start showing up better.

- Strengths worth celebrating (that too often get overlooked).

- How to actually motivate neurodivergent team members (spoiler: it’s not just about perks).

- Real-life examples of cultural transformation when neuro-inclusion strategies are done right.

- The bold move Aisling wants recruiters and hiring managers to make tomorrow.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re in hiring, management, HR or just want to be a better teammate.
