Specialisterne Ireland, a specialist recruitment service, is part of an international network of Specialisterne organisations across 14 countries. The word ‘Specialisterne’ translates from Danish as ‘The Specialists’. The Specialisterne Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. Specialisterne Foundation is associated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications. It is a member of the United Nations Global Compact. As part of the Specialist People Foundation, Specialisterne Ireland contributes to a global goal of enabling meaningful jobs for one million autistic/ neurodivergent people by 2030. Specialisterne Ireland was established in 2012 to support autistic people in preparing for, gaining, and maintaining employment options matching their potential. The organisation has recently expanded its services to include support for those with other conditions, like ADHD, Dyspraxia/DCD and Dyslexia, to secure meaningful jobs and training opportunities. In tandem, Specialisterne works with businesses, third-level education institutions, and community service providers committed to embedding Diversity & Inclusion practices in their organisations. We support Candidates applying for jobs through CV and cover letter feedback, assistance with job searches, and structured mock interview preparation at no cost to them. For employers, we offer our Mentorship Programme and end-to-end communication to partner companies’ HR and managers. Specialisterne Ireland shows how workplace inclusivity is about creating a culture shaped by and for everyone within it.
