A dedicated hiring pathway at Microsoft for neurodivergent candidates, built around removing the parts of a conventional interview loop that screen out capable people for reasons unrelated to the job. Microsoft describes the programme as having shaped how teams across the company think about and support neurodiversity, and pairs it with workplace accommodations and assistive AI tooling. Roles recruited through it sit in the same engineering, data and technical disciplines as Microsoft's standard openings. This is one of the longest-running corporate neurodiversity hiring programmes in the technology sector and is frequently the reference model other employers copy, so it is a useful starting point for a candidate mapping out which companies run a formal alternative process rather than an informal accommodation on request.
