The challenge

There are many highly skilled and experienced women who struggle to find flexible working hours locally once they return to work after having children. However, employers often want to recruit part time roles to make the most of their budget, but find it difficult to access high calibre part time candidates.

Business approach

Part recruitment agency, part careers advice and business consultancy, Women Like Us is a unique enterprise that matches mothers, or women seeking part time work, with relevant local employers. This ensures that the immediate community benefits from the valuable skills of working mums.

Goals and objectives

Karen has already engaged some of the leading employment experts in the UK and is helping to shape and reform the employment landscape. Furthermore, Women Like Us is growing at a staggering rate with over 30,000 registered candidates, all generated via word of mouth and PR.
