HOW IT WORKS

Autistic Talent

Our consultants have cognitive abilities that provide exceptional value in the tech space. Logic, speed, precision, sustained concentration, and an ability to intuitively spot errors provide a uniquely autistic perspective on your tech projects.

Meeting customer requirements

We carefully match each consultant to your requirements, your culture, and your organization’s neurodiversity objectives. Our autistic consultants provide expertise of in-demand skills. They are integrated in your teams and operate like employees, much like all team members.

Ensuring Success

Our consulting managers 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

Change the life of autistic people – through work

All our consultants arrive to Unicus from unemployment. To be given a job in an environment where the autism diagnosis is given value is much appriciated. Employment begins with an internship of 12 weeks. A period which, in addition to commercialize the technical skill of the new colleauge, gives the new colleague the chance to find their worklife routines in a controlled manner. Our consulting managers are similarly given time to get to know the individual along with both their skillset and challenges, making our subsequent matching ot assignment much easier.
 
When asked, we usually describe our company as creating a win-win-win. The consultant is given employment, the customer is given access to an extraordinary resource, and society as a whole is given another person in the workforce. Now that’s a business advantage!

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.

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.
