About Us
Bridging the gap between neurodivergent talent and inclusive employers
Our Story
The founder started Amforus to create a platform that enables neurodiverse candidates, which are some of the most talented individuals in the workplace, to find a job or make a mid-career change without fear of being rejected due to grades that poorly reflect strengths.
Our goal is to bridge the cultural gap, whereby neurodivergent candidates can apply for jobs with companies who are genuinely inclusive. Meaning the interview criteria and techniques are adapted, and workplace accommodations such as headphones, quiet areas, or working remotely are agreed, as is ongoing training. Both candidates and companies go through an approval process to ensure the highest quality. We remove the headache of sourcing; you build your business.
What We Stand For
Dyslexia
We call it Giftlexia. If you are diagnosed, or want to test, shoot us an email and we will talk to you about some ideas, options and not do a spelling bee contest. What's funny is I am the founder, I'm coding this page right now (which I should not be) and it's taking a long time as there is no spell check...
Neurodiversity
Around 10% of children have a learning disability, that's 2/3 pupils in every classroom. Millions of kids who learn and think differently don't get the support they need in school. There are some specialist schools disrupting the education development program.
Social Responsibility
Whether you are a candidate, company or a parent wanting to know more contact us to learn more. Living with or around Neurodiversity is challenging, we know. Contact us for consultation.
The Founder's Journey
The founder who has dyslexia and ADHD experienced first hand the challenges transitioning from a successful Wall Street career with 20 years of experience running global highly profitable businesses but not traditional qualifications to become a technologist. Reflecting on the experience, studied hiring techniques and behavioral analysis. He watched his son demonstrate creativity that test results ignore and witnessed people who have tremendous coding skills rejected due to poor interview techniques. How were people without a track record, exceptional grades, or global network going to secure a job they love? — This is why Amforus was created.
