WESTPAC TAILORED TALENT PROGRAM

Updated: Feb 29, 2024

Through their ‘Tailored Talent’ program, Westpac created new pathways for autistic candidates to integrate into meaningful roles across their business, including Risk, Finance and IT.


Westpac in Sydney partnered with Specialisterne in 2017 to tap into neurodiverse talent. Twelve candidates were assessed over three weeks through Specialisterne’s tailored recruitment program consisting of onsite workshops, simulated work activities and practical work experiences.

The program allowed Westpac to adapt their existing hiring process for people on the autism spectrum to create an opportunity to demonstrate and showcase their skills.

Westpac’s newest recruits from the Tailored Talent Program 2017

​

One of Westpac’s newest recruits, Todd Cefai, had almost lost count of the number of job interviews he’s been to since leaving university. The 24 year-old studied biology and genetics at the University of NSW, is a self-taught data analyst and adjudicates debating competitions in his spare time. But like many people on the autism spectrum, he’d been unable to land a full time job.
