Bring your
neurodiversity
to work
Use our accessible web app to match with employers who value your strengths.
Neurodiversity is the diversity of human brains and minds -- the infinite variation in neurocognitive functioning within our species (such as autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, etc.)
Get closer to getting hired
with our inclusive profile.
The Mentra Profile goes
beyond the traditional resume to provide a platform for self expression, especially for those with under-utilized talents.
The Mentra profile captures
the unique characteristics and environmental preferences of the individual and the job that are crucial to making or breaking a job fit.
Apply once to Mentra, and our team will take it from there
Mentra is a free service that puts you in front of inclusive recruiters rather than forcing you to go after them. Some call this a virtual “reverse job fair”.
Once you join our talent pool and fill in our 20 - 30 minute application, we’ll find you ideal career opportunities where your brain and heart can thrive.
How does Mentra work for job seekers?
At Mentra, we care about each and every one of our candidates. We'll help you get your dream job and stay in touch after your start date to make sure your new position is everything you want it to be.
Apply your brain and heart to thrive in diverse roles.
Mentra knows that autistic job seekers are passionate and thrive in any field. We're working with employers in a diverse range of industries to make sure that our candidates can find any role they're interested in, whether it's technical, creative, advocacy-based, or anything else.
A human-centered design approach.
Based on our research initiated at Georgia Tech, the team has learned what data is instrumental to making or breaking a good job fit. We have spent over 2 years understanding the autism community to intimately understand pain points and success factors in a job position. Today, we are working with employers to examine and address barriers in the employment process.
