A lot of times we think about DEI as only about race or gender, but
neurodivergency is also a factor in hiring. Title insurance jobs tend to be
non-customer-facing, and call for attention to detail and focus that
neuro-divergent workers often excel at.
As
more and more of our older employees retire, many of our companies are
looking for the best possible people as the next generation of title
insurance professionals, especially searchers and readers. The unique
requirements for those jobs- careful attention to detail, intense focus,
and recognition of slight differences- are often qualities held by
those suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However the job
interview process often shortchanges those individuals, as social
awkwardness masks their abilities.
The following article explains how
recognizing those interview biases can reward your company with great
employees.
