HOW IT WORKS

Autistic Talent

Targeted Fulfillment

We closely match each consultant to your job requirements, office culture, and the neurodiversity goals of your organization. Our autistic consultants arrive at work at your local office, providing expertise in high-demand skills such as business analytics, Salesforce Administration, software development, cybersecurity, quality assurance, and more. Like any team member, they become integrated into your teams and function as employees.

Ensured Success

Our job coaches play a central role in your success, acting as a liaison between you and the autistic consultant, working hand-in-hand to communicate timelines, manage expectations, resolve needs, and ensure the ultimate success of your program.

Our mission

Changing the lives of autistic adults through employment

As an autistic-majority global company, Unicus succeeds as a result of its neurodiversity. Most of our team members are hired out of 2 years of unemployment and the value that a career adds to their life is significant. Despite this, estimates suggest less than 29% (ons.gov.uk) of autistic people are in any form of meaningful employment which aligns to their educational achievements.

Unicus taps into this potential by employing autistic adults as technology consultants. Autistic employees are supported by job coaches and project managers, producing a win-win-win situation for clients, consultants, as well as society. 

IT Consulting

Autistic Talent

Our autistic technology consultants have extraordinary cognitive abilities that provide exceptional value in the tech space. We succeed at this through our experience in closely matching each consultant to your job requirements, office culture, and the neurodiversity goals of your organization. Innovation, creative intelligence, precision, sustained concentration and an ability to intuitively spot errors provide a uniquely autistic perspective on client tech projects.

Neuroinclusion Services

Advisory Services

Unicus is the first service provider that any business turns to for advice on how to create, develop and improve their teams and processes into being neurodiverse. We help clients transform HR practices, managers become neuro-confident, raise business-wide understanding and, most importantly, transform careers and provide thriving opportunities to neurodiverse talent globally.

Neurodiversity Training

We understand that organisations may wish to support their own neurodivergent talent but are unsure on how to approach this. Our teaching professionals carry out our training with decades of clinical and applied experience in autism and neurodivergent conditions.

Inclusion is at the heart of what we do. Our neurodiversity training programs are developed in collaboration with our neurodivergent colleagues, contributing as subject-matter experts and trainers.

Our training is of interest to all employees within an organisation but is of particular relevance to leaders, human resources, legal, recruiters and managers.

Coaching

Unicus’s consultants and clients are supported by our consulting managers who ensure that the consultants’ work environments enable them to deliver to their full professional potential. Our talented coaches promote inclusion and wellbeing and are integral to making sure our consultants feel supported in their assignments. Most importantly they provide clients with support and information regarding autism in the workplace and can convey feedback between the client and the consultant.

Now is the time

Employers face a global talent shortage – Unicus can help. By 2030, the global talent shortage is predicted to reach 85.2M workers. (Korn/Ferry, 2021) Worldwide, 87% of organizations are already experiencing a talent shortage or are expecting to face it within a few years (McKinsey, 2020.) The greatest need for talent exists in data analytics and IT management with advanced skills data analysis and mathematics.

Now is the time to attract and retain neurodivergent talent from a largely untapped talent pool. With proper support, neurodivergent employees can thrive in your organization, bringing fresh perspectives, and strengths in math, data and computer sciences.

How will your company benefit?

Unicus employs world-class technology that is ready to work on your next project. Our experienced teams range from entry-level to advanced computer and data scientists; 32% of our consultants have a Master’s degree or higher. While each of our consultants has unique skills that make them outstanding professionals, many experience cognitive benefits from autism, including advanced analytical and systemizing skills, innovative and creative intelligence, higher standards, increased productivity, and refreshingly honest perspectives.

  • Entry-level to senior computer and data science talent
  • Bulletproof systems through amazing perseverance
  • Real innovation through unique perspectives
  • Solutions for ‘unsolvable’ problems

Measuring our mission's impact

We believe affecting change in one life is the starting point for changing society. We therefore measure our social performance through the difference Unicus makes to the lives of our autistic colleagues, the impact on our customer organisations, and the role we play in creating awareness of neurodiversity in society.

Between 15-20% of the global population are neurodivergent. 2% are estimated to be autistic. Despite many autistic people being talented, qualified and keen to work, only 29% of autistic people are in full time work. Within the autistic workforce, a vast majority are under-employed, working in jobs that they are over-qualified or over-skilled for.
