Travelers Neurodiversity Initiative – What makes this opportunity unique?
- We build a “2nd front door” as part of our Neurodiversity @ Work internship initiative interview process. Since the Fall of 2016, this initiative has yielded 41 interns and 9 full time conversion hires.
- Neurodiversity training is required for all managers involved in this initiative.
- As part of our broader Disability hiring efforts, there have been 40+ hires via partnerships with the state Department of Occupational Rehabilitation & a local non-profit disability focused agencies in our Hartford (Viability) & Saint Paul (LifeWorks) offices.
Alternative Assessment Process Overview
- Candidates will attend a 30-minute information session on Microsoft Teams in which Travelers will provide an overview of the company, the mission, purpose and priorities of each respective function and a detailed outline of next steps in the selection process.
- For every candidate that remains interested in continuing with the interview process, the second part would be a one-on-one 30-minute conversation with the program manager or recruiter via Microsoft Teams. During such conversation, the candidate will be able to learn more about the program and the specific role(s) that are available that summer.
- Conversation starters will be provided in advance to help the discussion flow. Candidates will also be provided the role(s) overview(s) in advance. This will allow a candidate to learn more about the opportunity before they head into their technical interview. Following the previous conversation, the candidate will let us know if they are interested in a technical interview with the hiring manager.
- The technical interview with the hiring manager will be a 45-minute Microsoft Teams conversation. Questions will be provided to the candidate in advance to allow them to prepare for the conversation.
- The recruiters will then reach out with an application status update the week following that conversation.
