Mentra

Who's going to Disability:IN next week? So excited to be there IRL with my awesome teammates Jessye Lavine and Shea Belsky to meet leaders paving the way to learn about innovative hiring strategies rooted in #neurotype and #skillsbased models. It was such an honor to attend last year and meet Jenny Lay-Flurrie and Jill Houghton building #accessibility into the DNA of #CorporateAmerica. Here's to closing disability divide 🤝 and redefining the #futureofwork.

So, we’ve been heads down building at Mentra 🙇… excited to share what we’ve been up to 🥁 Introducing Mentra’s new Candidate Dashboard 🎉 Think about it like Netflix, except you’re searching for jobs by categories best suited to a neurodivergent’s needs. Candidates and employers alike can now experience a whole new level of connection. 🤝 #JobSeekers, this is your chance to sign up and get access to a dashboard of jobs tailored just for you. #Companies, get your companies spotlighted and discover incredible talent that’s ready to join your team. 🧠 With the #FutureofWork evolving everyday, here’s to adapting our workplaces to the needs of unique neurotypes. 🚀 #Neurodiversity #TechTalent #Cybersecurity #InnovativeHiring #TalentAquisition #recruiting

To all mums (past, present and future) – including those of you who have children with visible or invisible disabilities — You are celebrated 🫶 Thank you for birthing life into this world. Thank you for your selflessness, for your of love, for your patience. Thank for seeing things clearly at times and at other times for your open mindedness to learn and grow. Thank you for rising above the darkness to share your light with us.

Let’s spread the love — #HappyMothersDay 🕊
