The Mom Project Inc., a recruitment firm focused on mothers, raised $80 million in new capital at what may be a pivotal moment for working women and the companies that want to hire them.
Mothers, who left the workforce in large numbers during the pandemic, are increasingly able to return to work as schools reopen, said Allison Robinson, co-founder and chief executive of the Chicago-based Mom Project. At the same time, companies are becoming more willing to offer flexible job options to them due to talent shortages.
