About us
auticon is an IT Consultancy and Social Enterprise whose mission is to address the inequalities in employment for neurodivergent adults. We aim to provide long-term career opportunities for autistic adults, who we employ as IT and Data Consultants. They then deliver high-quality services to our clients. If you’re not familiar with how IT Consultancies operate, read more on our blog.
Registering your interest and how we recruit
We always want to hear from autistic people with strong tech and data skills who would like to join us.
We recruit new Consultants based on available project opportunities, aligning our hiring needs with client demand. As a result, we encourage interested candidates to register their interest and complete a few initial questions to determine whether they meet our general criteria.
Registering your interest is not an application for a specific role; instead, it allows you to share your CV and become part of our talent pool. Once in the talent pool, we continually review your skillset against client opportunities and initiate our recruitment process when a suitable position becomes available. Find out more about our recruitment process on our website: auticon - Careers UK.
Because our hiring is demand-driven, timelines are variable depending on client needs. During your time in the talent pool, we encourage you subscribe to our quarterly Careers Newsletter and share any updates with us.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
