What started as an empowering dating platform has transformed into an innovative business-centric networking opportunity for women, as Bumble Bizz expands its offerings to include a 'women only' feature, enabling recruiters to filter demographics to select female-identifying professionals.
Bumble Bizz allows users to upload resumes and list professional skills, and while some have likened the platform to LinkedIn, Bumble Bizz serves as an all-encompassing professional tool, offering mentoring and networking in addition to job search capabilities. With the tool's new women only feature, professionals can actively seek professional women for jobs, mentorship and networking.
This women-only network serves as an extension of Bumble's women-first mission, which was launched when the dating app required women to send the first message to potential suitors.
