Clicks and Gender Diversity
We are thought leaders for gender diversity in IT recruitment. Clicks is the diamond partner, and only recruiter, with the #TechDiversity Foundation, Australia’s leading industry alliance committed to amplifying diversity awareness and achieving a culture of inclusion, through conversation, collaboration and action.
Our Executive team lead our diversity initiatives from the front. Our General Manager – Operations, Sam Micich, is a #TechDiversity Foundation Member, and the author of the highly regarded report: Gender Diversity in the Australian IT Market.
Clicks and Neurodiversity
Clicks has partnered with leading social enterprises Jobs Victoria and Specialisterne. Specialisterne Australia helps employers understand, value, and include the unique skills and capabilities of people on the autism spectrum.
Together we have pioneered Front of Mind, a channel through which neurodiverse candidates find meaningful ongoing employment in the tech sector.
Many hiring managers simply don’t know about the competitive advantages of neurodiverse employees. Compared to neurotypical people, neurodiverse workers are: 92% more productive, they learn tasks 48 times faster, yet they experience 6 times more unemployment.
There are so many more benefits to hiring neurodiverse workers than we can’t fit on this web page. Let us meet with you to learn about your workplace and put an end to the war for talent. Together we can identify projects and job functions that would be knocked out of the park by neurodiverse workers.
