"Women can have children - and know there's a safe secure way of returning to work."Meet Jess: Mum and co-founder of That Works for Me.When a chance moment - and a gap in the freelance recruitment market - presented itself, Jess took the initiative to serve a large untapped (and talented) audience... that of Mums. 72% of professional women leave the workforce within 3 years of having children - a situation she's tackling head on with the platform that also supports small business and flexible working. In conversation with Ollie, Jess talks about building a social media audience before going to market, how Covid meant they ended up with a better platform, and the importance of knowing when to get outside help. Plus how That Works For Me is now being embraced by Dads... It's a tale for the ages, with great advice for other founders and inspiration for those who feel they have more to give than being just a parent. Presented by Ollie Collard and Andrew Parsonage.
