I have a family member that works at a company like that, they do basic skills training and then try to match the people with jobs. They end up mostly with people that were desperate for a job, meaning their disorder was bad enough they couldn't find one on their own. For those seeking engineering jobs, they usually are fairly skilled workers, but the deficits in other areas are extreme. People that would show up to the office smelling like they hadn't showered in a month. So at least in the case of this one company, it seems they are selecting not only for neurodivergence, but also for prior inability to get/hold down a job. I think for the companies that are considering hiring, it is a cheaper way to test potential employees than the normal hiring process would be. They get a free trial and can start the person at a lower payscale if promising, so they can benefit if the resourcing company manages to get a couple of the people to a hirable state. I would suspect there are also neurodivergent people who are more functional hired through the normal process, although maybe that varies by company. Certainly they're relatively common at FAANGs.
