The Mom ProjectReviews of themomproject.com

I have applied to 13 jobs through The Mom Project platform. I have not received one bite on my applications. I have over 20 years of writing and research experience and I have only been applying to those types of job postings. Unfortunately, I am finding this site to be a bit fake with no real opportunities out there for an actual mom looking for part time work.

The Mom Project is a scam at best, and a poorly run corporation/branding/moneymaking vehicle for its founder at worst. So much for empowerment *shrug* After over a year applying for roles on TMP, I finally landed an interview with a company I was really excited about. I was skeptical, and only believe I got the interview because I knew someone in-house at the company and she gave them the nudge. TMP reached out and were forthcoming about how everything regarding the role would be managed through them ie arranging the interview, payroll, benefits, etc. I interviewed with the company, sent them a thank you and then....NOTHING. No communication whatsoever, not from the company, not from anyone from TMP, even after multiple follow ups. But they'll still post about how they work with moms to get/keep us in the workforce. Consider they have over 200K followers on LinkedIn, 62K on IG and almost 3K YouTube subscribers but if you look closely their engagement is comparatively minimal, and where I've previously seen negative comments about whether any one has gotten a job there....those comments have been DELETED or their mods are in overdrive trying to curate an image of a very pro-woman, pro-mom platform and THEY'RE NOT. Do not waste your time and energy. I know I won't ever again.

I created an account, posted a position as an employer seeking talent and never heard back from them. After numerous attempts trying to engage with them, no response from them.

I applied through LinkedIn for a contract position. Either the job poster doesn’t know all the details for the position that their client needs or they are blindly reusing a previous job posting template. This specific job that I applied for wasadvertised as 100% remote (posting lists that information multiple times) when in fact, after the company expressed interested in me, said the position was actually hybrid. I don’t see how this could be an honest mistake and am wondering if this isn’t just a marketing ploy to gain users into their system. I wouldn’t be very trusting of them in the future.

As a recruiter, this was the worst hiring service I've ever used. The service is cobbled together and is so poorly done that it adds hours to the process. They treat moms as commodities and from what I saw don't actually care about supporting women. We had many applicants who were not moms, which was strange. It is significantly more expensive than other services and was just extremely disappointing. We will never use this service again.
