India :ShareChat, India’s own social media platform, today announces the launch of “Refer A Sakhi” programfor women who want to come back to work after a break. The program, launched as a part of the Women’s Day celebration, will now be a part of its long-term hiring strategy.

Swapna Nair, Vice President – Human Resources, ShareChat said, “As women go through multiple transitions in their life, sometimes taking sabbatical becomes an obvious decision. Hence, we have launched this program in an attempt to bring their professional progression on track. We hope such initiatives would help translate ShareChat into a better workplace as we always keep talent ahead of any other aesthetics .”

To begin with, this program will be an internal referral where ShareChat associates can refer women across 7 job openings at ShareChat across Content, Product and Data Science.

With this program, ShareChat aims to break the myth that the chances of coming back to work for women after a break are narrow. This program will empower women and is intended to send a message that talent will be always counted at ShareChat.
