FYI:

“I am incredibly excited to announce that I am opening the New York Office of an amazing company called Mom Corps (www.momcorps.com). Mom Corps is an innovative staffing company that connects highly skilled mothers with flexible work assignments.

Mom Corps was founded in 2005 by Allison Karl O’Kelly, entrepreneur, CPA and Harvard MBA, and attracts highly accomplished business women in a variety of professional fields including accounting, law, human resources, medicine, marketing and general business. Our candidates are the highest caliber professionals with proven experience and nationally recognized top degrees. We work with corporations to identify project, part-time and contract flexible positions that require the high-level expertise and experience of our candidates. The obvious benefits are that corporations operate more productively without incurring additional overhead or benefits, while working mothers are able to achieve a far more effective and satisfying work/life balance.

Studies have shown that 37% of highly qualified women voluntarily leave their high powered jobs for some time period. Usually this hiatus is prompted by family responsibility. Of these women, 90% are interested in returning to work but require some level of flexibility. We know the talent is out there. And that’s what we do - we find them and match their skill sets with the companies that need them.

This organization is putting into practice an idea whose time has come and I couldn’t be more thrilled to head up this endeavor in the tri-state area. I love New York and I believe that with the talent pool in our area and Mom Corps expertise we couldn’t be better positioned to spearhead this effort in one of the most challenging and dynamic marketplaces in the world.

Please make a note of my contact information and feel free to share this email with other talented friends or colleagues who may be interested in learning more about Mom Corps. If you know any professional women who are currently looking to get back into the workforce or who would like to explore more flexible options, please direct them to our website www.momcorps.com where they can submit their resume.

Thanks so much and drop me a line if you have any questions.

Regards,
Linda”
