Postpartum Job Platforms

The 'Puffling' Platform Pairs Back-to-Work Moms with the Right Positions

— July 20, 2017 — Tech
Getting back to work after having a child can be somewhat difficult in order to find the right position that suits those with a family, so 'Puffling' is a platform for back-to-work moms to utilize. 'Puffling' works by having moms put in their info and get paired up with another candidate in order to help develop a job share partnership. This means that both parties will share a position in order to help both balance the responsibilities of family life and work life simultaneously.

The 'Puffling' platform for back-to-work moms comes as a welcome new method for moms to find a job share partner to get back into the industry without the associated stress. Once you've found the right partner, both parties interview together to show a potential employer how they can fulfill responsibilities as a micro team.
Trend Themes
1. Job-sharing Platforms for Parents - The rise of job-sharing platforms for parents presents an opportunity to disrupt the traditional work schedule and offer flexible arrangements for caregivers.
2. Micro-teams - Micro-teams can revolutionize the way companies hire and structure their work, resulting in more collaborative and efficient ways of completing tasks.
3. Collaborative Hiring - Collaborative hiring, where candidates are paired up and interviewed together, will become a more common way of hiring as companies prioritize diversity and inclusivity in their workforce.
Industry Implications
1. Human Resources - As job-sharing and collaborative hiring become more popular trends, human resources will need to adapt to offer more flexible arrangements and diverse recruitment methods.
2. Technology - Developing technology platforms that facilitate job-sharing and collaborative hiring can offer new, disruptive solutions for working parents and companies.
3. Retail - Retail industries, particularly those with high turnover rates, can benefit from job-sharing platforms to help retain experienced employees who need more flexible schedules.
