Talent Matters Podcast Wave

Episode 218 of Wave’s Talent Matters podcast series sees Wave CEO Dave Jenkins talk to Founder and CEO of 2to3days, Juliet Turnbull. Juliet was an early champion of flexible working and the impact it can have on women’s ability to integrate work and home life when she founded 2to3days 8 years ago. It has since become the UK’s leading female-focused careers site and job board, connecting talented women with flexible career opportunities. She is incredibly passionate about normalising flexible working so that women can reach their full potential and companies can find and hire under-represented talent. That is what the conversation centres on and it is packed full of insights and advice on how recruiters can help drive the change and why it is hugely beneficial from both a societal and a business perspective.

 

Juliet set up 2to3days 8 years ago to challenge the traditional recruitment model when she realised millions of women were desperate to work flexibly so that they can progress their careers while being actively present in their home lives. She resolved to create the UK’s first female-focused recruitment marketplace, where employers can find and hire the experienced female talent they need, and women can get support and inspiration to apply for those jobs. She firmly believes that flexible working enables us all to integrate work with our lives, enabling us to reach our full potential while becoming happier, more productive and more loyal employees – all of which is great news for business.
