Shazamme System User • July 23, 2025

Inclusive hiring is is much more than just a box-ticking exercise. it’s a business opportunity.


At Turas Nua, we help employers unlock potential through People and Technology, supporting inclusive practices that open doors and drive long-term success.


Whether you’re hiring new staff or reviewing your HR strategy, inclusive hiring is a practical way to create impact through Social Recruitment, offering opportunities to those often excluded from the workforce while meeting your talent needs.



Here are five actionable inclusive hiring tips to help you build a more diverse, resilient, and socially responsible team.

2. Create an Accessible Interview Process



Offer flexibility in how, where, and when interviews are conducted. For example, remote interviews, quiet rooms, or additional preparation time can help candidates with disabilities or neurodiverse conditions perform at their best. This reflects the ethos of People and Technology working together to create fairer outcomes.

3. Value Non-Traditional Career Paths


Some of the most committed, adaptable candidates come from non-linear backgrounds. At Turas Nua, we support individuals through Social Recruitment programmes, helping them build confidence, gain training, and prepare for work. These jobseekers may not have a perfect CV, but they often bring unique strengths and perspectives.

4. Build an Inclusive and Accessible Workplace


Small changes - like offering assistive technology, hybrid work, or sensory-friendly spaces - can make a big difference. Inclusive environments attract and retain talent while demonstrating your business’s commitment to responsible practices powered by People and Technology.

5. Partner with an Inclusive Recruitment Provider


Turas Nua specialises in connecting employers with diverse, job-ready candidates. Through a combination of People and Technology, we match businesses with motivated individuals and offer supports to ensure success for everyone involved. As Ireland’s leading Social Recruitment partner, we make it easy to hire inclusively and with impact.

Inclusion Is Good for Business and Society


Inclusive hiring builds stronger teams and healthier communities. By embracing inclusive practices, your business can lead with purpose and create lasting change.

Just 32% of people with disabilities in Ireland are employed. Learn how Turas Nua supports employers to build inclusive workplaces and close the gap. October is Disability Employment Awareness Month, a time to reflect on progress, but also on the challenges that remain. In Ireland, the disability employment gap is the widest in Europe. The European Disability Forum (2023 ) indicates that only 32% of people with disabilities are in work, compared to the EU average of 51%. People with disabilities are more than twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled peers. Inclusion is a social priority, but it’s also a national challenge.
