Why it matters

Many talented women face unique barriers when entering or returning to work.
Traditional recruitment methods often overlook them. Smart Works bridges that gap.

63% of women feel less confident after the job application process, while women from ethnic minorities and women with disabilities are significantly less likely to secure work than their counterparts.
‍
Every year, we help over 10,000 unemployed women across the UK. 68% of our clients get the job after their Smart Works appointment.

By becoming a Smart Works Futures employer, you become part of the solution to support brilliant candidates who too often get overlooked by standardised recruitment practices.
