How easily we can confuse different with difficult.

This ADHD Awareness Month, we're thinking about how easily we can confuse different with difficult. As recruiters, we see a lot of interviews. And we're very aware that the person who interviews beautifully isn't necessarily the person who will be brilliant in the role. Particularly in BD & marketing, some of the qualities that can look unconventional in an interview can be hugely valuable at work.
Of course, ADHD doesn't look the same for everyone and we're not suggesting every characteristic is positive or that ADHD needs to be “celebrated” to make it acceptable. But perhaps we could all be a little more curious about what sits behind someone's behaviour.
The person who doesn't quite fit your idea of the ideal candidate might just be the person who brings something your team is missing.
Recruitment isn't about finding people who fit the mould, its about finding the right people!
