Show HN: HerJobs-Diversify remote teams with female talent from emerging country

Writing on behalf of one of the maker: The reason why I started this:

I'm a female. I'm from India, currently living in Europe. I'm an Engineering Manager in a remote team. I started this because in most of the teams I have worked, there was a lack of female in tech. And wanted to contribute towards changing this.

In an ideal world, opportunity will be equal - but unfortunately that is not the case right now. Not everyone have access to the equal opportunity.

And we are technically not a company yet, we are just a small community. What we try to do is coach people who apply, identify their skill gaps and help them get a job in remote teams. These skills mostly are not technical skills - but cultural and communication gaps.

I hope that helps.

Defiantly talk to a qualified HR attorney before using this in an American company - at first blush it would run afoul of my own states anti-discrimination laws.

Good to see slightly niche but important and interesting problems being tackled.

Well done. Its important to have places which showcase people who aren't well served by the mainstream job sites.

I like the idea, though it does feel a little like two forms, without the ability to see much else.

Sadly, not quite at the point of hiring full time employees yet (short term contractors mostly at the moment), but will keep it in mind to be part of the mix when I am.
