As businesses look for ways to enhance their company culture and overall productivity, one area of improvement may be diversity in the workplace and more women in the workforce. Though women in India represent 48 percent of the population, they contribute only around 17 percent of GDP compared to 40 percent in China. SHEJOBS, founded in 2019, is a women-focused job portal that connects employers with a diverse pool of candidates across the US and India, supporting women from all walks of life, helping anyone who is marked as a minority and is subjected to stereotypes, such as the LGBTQ+ community, mothers of special needs children, and other minorities.

A key finding of their research shows that more women in the workforce make the company a better place to work for all, regardless of gender. SHEJOBS was founded by Swathi Nelabhatla and evolved from her personal story and every woman's story around her. Organizations today need support to meet their diversity metrics, and SHEJOBS is striving to close the gender gap in the industry and create an inclusive environment. It started off with a portal where women can post their profiles and search for suitable job opportunities. Later, it also started providing personalized upskilling and reskilling programs for women with gaps in their careers to return to work. Next, focusing on women with children, with

disabilities, it also started returnship programs for organizations. “SHEJOBS has become the purpose of my life, and I along with my team want to support women with career gaps”, speaks Swathi Nelabhatla, Founder & CEO.

Helping Women to Return to Work
SHEJOBS is a unique portal focusing more on women and returning them to work. Women can have their resumes posted on the platform and can look for suitable opportunities. They can optionally declare themselves if they belong to any special categories that enables them to reach out to inclusive employers. Job seekers can easily look up an extensive collection of job vacancies through job search engines. Its easy to use dashboard makes adding a resume and filtering jobs very convenient. SHEJOBS offers a range of job choices from top companies and helps with interviews, screening processes, and more, to ensure they get all the help they need. “We also have brought some upskilling and reskilling opportunities through the portal to support women who are willing to come back to work”, adds Swathi Nelabhatla.
