CareerNet launches WForce

CareerNet launched WForce on Mar 8 to coincide with International Women’s Day.

The program is centred largely on a customized job portal.

"This portal helps companies communicate their commitment to diversity and list job openings. While listing the jobs, companies also list women-centric employee amenities and conveniences that make the position attractive for women. Female job seekers can run searches by entering details beyond their profile – in terms of expectations from an employer (eg. on-site crèche, employee transport, work-from-home, etc.) to help identify the openings that work best for them from all perspectives–professionally and on personal preferences. WForce empowers women to be hired in different industries across all levels, providing them with superior opportunities sans boundaries," the company said in a statement.

Commenting on the launch of WForce, Rishi Das, Co-founder, CareerNetsaid, “We foresee that the workplace will move increasingly from promoting gender diversity to enabling gender-agnostic recruitment practices – a true meritocracy, where the only recruitment parameters will be the capability and calibre of the individual rather than any other factor”.
