From networking events to panel discussions, Hire Women Week is the perfect opportunity for employers to learn more about the benefits of hiring women and for women to learn about the many job opportunities available to them.
During Hire Women Week, our Marketing Agency leveraged the job board to source and hire exceptional women for two key positions. Not only did we successfully fill these roles with talented and driven candidates from Hire Women Week, but one of them has already shown remarkable potential and is on the short path to a Director position. These two remarkable hires have not only elevated our organization but participating gave us the chance to continue to break down barriers and foster inclusivity in our industry. The values that Hire Women Week stands for resonate deeply with us, and we are enthusiastic about participating in this incredible event in the future to seize more opportunities for hiring the best talent and expanding our network.

Did you know that a whopping 63% of women have never had a formal mentor?
It's a pretty eye-opening statistic! A special part of Hire Women Week is all about connecting mentors and mentees and creating those awesome connections. Whether you need advice on your specific skills or want some career guidance, mentor sessions are available to give you that valuable feedback and support.

One thing that really stuck out to me about Hire Women Week was how open all attendees, speakers, and hosts were to interact. I had so many meaningful networking conversations and instantly was brought into the community. I attended events both virtually and in-person and this applied to both. At other conferences I've felt it was so hard to even say hello outside of awkward introduction exercises. Hire Women Week really set itself above the rest and made me feel comfortable and welcome from start to finish.

Hire Women Week is a unique hybrid event hosted by Lady Bird Talent. It is a week-long annual celebration that promotes the hiring of women in the tech workforce. Our goal is to challenge biases, foster meaningful connections, and create opportunities for women and non-binary individuals in the tech and startup industries.
Save the dates! Hire Women Week 2024 is scheduled to take place from January 22 to 26.
We have a mix of in-person meetups in select U.S. cities and a virtual main stage to ensure everyone can participate, regardless of their location. Simply register for the event and join us to be part of something magical!
Everyone is welcome! Hire Women Week is for anyone who believes in providing equitable opportunities for women in the workplace. The programming is designed for job seekers, professionals seeking career guidance or advancement, and hiring teams aiming to increase gender equity in their organizations. Whether you identify as a woman in tech, a non-binary individual, an ally, a manager, or a change-maker, we would love to see you there. The event is all about inclusivity and creating opportunities for everyone in the tech industry.
Our primary objective is to increase the representation of women and non-binary individuals in the tech workforce. We strive to challenge biases, foster meaningful connections, and create a platform for growth and success. Studies show that women make up only 24% of c-suite positions, earn between 54 to 87 cents compared to a white man's dollar, and are 14% less likely to be promoted than their male colleagues. That's why we need your support to drive change and create momentum together.
The majority of our sessions are conducted online, allowing participants to join from anywhere in the world. Only events specifying a city location will be held in person. Everything else will take place virtually at Hire Women Week
Events specifying a city location will be held as in-person gatherings. We will announce the details of our in-person meetups in early 2024.
Hire Women Week is free for all attendees!
We invite employers to share their open positions with you and recommend that you take advantage of all the sessions supporting job searching. Mentorship requests and a virtual networking fair will provide you with the opportunity to interact face-to-face with employers.
