Hiring the right talent who value their jobs is a game-changer for any business. At RecruitMyMom, we believe that hiring moms isn't just a smart business decision; it's a confirmation of the extraordinary qualities they bring to the table. From their remarkable communication abilities to their innate emotional intelligence, working moms are heroes who care about their careers and family life. Recruiting a mom is a no-brainer if you're a start-up or scale-up!
Let's define a RecruitMyMom job-seeking mom.
As seen by RecruitMyMom, a mother is a highly skilled and experienced professional with innate soft skills such as reliability, prioritisation, self-leadership, and effective communication. These qualities, developed through her nurturing role, contribute exceptional value to the workplace, where she exemplifies loyalty, trustworthiness, and responsibility. She enriches her work environment with invaluable wisdom and empathy, driven by her high standards as a role model for her children. Her professional ambition is fueled by a strong desire to contribute, leaving a lasting legacy of impact and commitment in her community.
The Power of Moms in the Workplace
"I celebrate the resilience, loyalty, empathy, and emotional intelligence that so many women bring into the workplace." - Phillipa Geard, CEO and Founder of RecruitMyMom.
For too long, the narrative around working mothers has been one of sacrifice—choosing between career aspirations and family responsibilities. But at RecruitMyMom, we're proud to be part of a movement changing this story for the better. We've seen firsthand how mothers can thrive in their careers while raising a family, and we're here to champion that journey.
The Incredible Value of Working Moms
The contributions of working mothers are nothing short of astounding. Since our inception in 2012, we have celebrated countless stories of moms finding meaningful work seamlessly fitting into their lives. Employers are reaping the rewards by accessing some of the best talent available through our recruitment agency.
Here's why hiring skilled moms makes perfect sense:
- Deep Appreciation for Work
For many mothers, having a job provides a sense of purpose beyond caregiving towards financial contribution. This appreciation translates into passion and dedication in the workplace. Moms approach their tasks with precision and commitment, making them invaluable assets to any organisation. - Natural People Managers
Moms excel at managing relationships—both at home and in the workplace. Their experiences dealing with sibling squabbles or navigating toddler tantrums equip them with patience and grace. This unique skill set allows them to handle workplace challenges with empathy and professionalism, much-needed skills in a remote and hybrid working world. - Resilience and Problem-Solving Skills
The responsibility that comes with motherhood fosters resilience. Moms know how to tackle challenges head-on and find solutions quickly. This grit carries over into their professional lives, where they take responsibility for their roles and drive results. See our article on why moms make great Sales Consultants. - Inherent Soft Skills
Emotional intelligence, effective communication, organisational prowess—moms possess a treasure trove of soft skills that make them exceptional employees and leaders. These attributes foster collaboration and create positive team dynamics. - Attracting Qualified Candidates
In today's competitive job market, attracting highly qualified candidates can be challenging. Skilled moms often come equipped with in-demand skills currently in short supply. By tapping into this untapped talent pool, employers enhance their teams with experienced professionals ready to make an impact. - Reducing Onboarding Costs
High recruitment costs can concern many employers seeking cost-effective methods to attract skilled professionals. Hiring working moms reduces these costs significantly; they often bring extensive experience and expertise without extensive onboarding or training. - Enhancing Cultural Fit
New hires must align with your company's culture and values—especially when creating an inclusive environment for working mothers. Skilled moms naturally embody empathy, collaboration, and resilience that contribute positively to inclusive workplace cultures.
