Send us a text
Are you prepared to confront the deeply entrenched biases in traditional recruitment practices? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Cecile Pichot, Operations Manager at Audio Network, who pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked challenges faced by pregnant women and new mothers in the job market.
Cecile's personal journey of seeking employment while pregnant paints a vivid picture of the discrimination she encountered, with potential employers retreating upon discovering her pregnancy. But this story is more than a tale of rejection; it's a testament to the determination, strength, and resilience of working mothers.
In this candid conversation, we delve into the emotional toll this experience took on Cecile, exploring the self-doubt that crept in and how she battled against these feelings to emerge stronger. Her insights cast a critical eye on the current state of the recruitment process, shedding light on the need for compassion, empathy, and fairness.
But we don't stop at identifying the problem. In the second half of our discussion, Cecile articulates her vision for a future where recruitment is more inclusive, humane, and supportive. She offers concrete ideas, such as adopting a long-term perspective on hiring, creating flexible working arrangements, and encouraging personal growth.
Cecile's experiences aren't just anecdotes; they're calls to action, urging recruiters, employers, and professionals at all stages of their careers to rethink their approach. This episode is not only a compelling story but a blueprint for creating a work environment where working mothers aren't just accommodated but celebrated.
Whether you're a job seeker, a recruiter, an employer, or anyone navigating the complex landscape of modern careers, Cecile's wisdom provides a fresh and necessary perspective. Listen in and be part of the movement to reshape the recruitment process and build a more equitable future for working mothers. Join us for an inspiring discussion that challenges the status quo and ignites a passion for change.
