Women First Jobs, the pioneering Women-Only Job Portal, has officially launched, representing a significant moment for empowerment in the UAE’s workforce.
Positioning itself as an innovative initiative, Women First Jobs challenges conventional recruitment practices to create a conducive environment for the career growth of women. Led by Priyanka Sengar, with over 15 years of diverse corporate experience in India and the Middle East, the initiative aims to address gender gaps in the professional landscape.
In line with the vision of Her Highness Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Gender Balance Council, Women First Jobs is committed to supporting the UAE’s Gender Balance Council’s initiatives, ensuring equal pay, promoting gender equality in recruitment and promotion, mainstreaming a gender balance perspective, and maintaining transparency.
The platform caters to senior-level roles as well as junior and middle management positions.
Women First Jobs actively supports corporate return ship programs, providing mentorship and training for women reentering the workforce after maternity breaks or career hiatuss.
This reflects the platform’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive professional environment for women at various stages of their careers.
In alignment with prominent government localization policies like Emiratization and Saudization, Women First Jobs aims to enhance the participation of Emirati and Saudi women in the private sector.
This launch aligns with the NAFIS and Saudi Vision 2030 programs, strengthening the capabilities of local human resources and promoting a culture of gender diversity.
With comprehensive support for various career stages and a commitment to fostering inclusivity, Women First Jobs serves as more than just a job portal; it acts as a catalyst for promoting gender balance and facilitating professional growth.
