Employmoms earns honor

March 30, 2008

PORTSMOUTH — Employmoms was chosen by Working Mother Magazine as a winner in its annual "25 Best Women Owned Businesses." The award is given to companies that demonstrate a commitment to work/life balance within their company. Employmoms strives to provide professional mothers and employees with the opportunity to find a work/life balance in the profession they pursue. Jane Seibel, CEO and founder of Employmoms, started the company in 2007 to make it easier for professional mothers to find flexible positions locally and nationally. Seibel, after 12 years of raising her own three children, decided to start her own business to help other mothers surmount the challenge of finding work opportunities that allowed for flexibility. There is a large untapped talent pool of talented mothers who hold advanced degrees and have 10 to 15 years of work history behind them.

CEO and founder of Employmoms Jane Seibel realized something in the modern professional paradigm needed to change.
Interviewing for what she thought was her “ideal job,” working 20 hours a week in a brain research lab at Dartmouth College, she was faced with hours that she could not do because of her family commitment.

“I didn’t feel professional saying to them, ‘Wait a minute I have to pick up my kid at 2:10, but I can be here at 2:20.’ And I didn’t feel like having that dialogue with them. I left feeling, ‘How is this ever going to
work?’”

The Mommy Hunters are on the prowl.

Did you leave a promising but all-consuming career to stay home during the preschool years? Have your corporate credentials collected dust while you served as a Scout leader or a PTA volunteer?

Not to worry. The Mommy Hunters want YOU.

Their pitches may not sound as aggressive as an Army recruitment ad -- not yet, anyway. But a new career-assistance industry has emerged recently, looking to match moms who want to keep a toe – or even a whole leg -- in the working world with companies that are open to flextime and career sabbaticals.

Spotlight on new business: EMPLOYMOMS

August 2, 2007

Jane Seibel of Hanover recently launched an innovative staffing company. “Employmoms” matches professionals who are taking some time off from the permanent marketplace to raise children, but want temporary, flexible work. Seibel matches them with companies seeking employees to fill flexible job descriptions. The company focuses on mothers, but also takes into account fathers as well.

Seibel pointed out that with companies losing Baby Boomers to retirement, and many mothers “off-ramping,” a national worker shortage is developing. Staffing companies like her own are “a huge topic right now.”

Seibel, a mother of three daughters, spent the last four years inventing a product sold nationally by Mom Inventors called Tidy Table Covers. She came up with the idea for her new venture after licensing her invention to a company and exploring going back to a traditional job.
