CHENNAI: No longer is taking a sabbatical or being a mother an issue with parttime permanent career options now beckoning women. Chennai-based personnel consulting agency, Avtar Career Creators, has been obtaining mandates from companies for recruiting women professionals for part-time jobs. Company Client Services Chief K Umasanker said women entering the working world even at a late age, sans experience, and making a success of it is not only possible, but actually happening.
“We are currently handling a project to hire over 100 women employees for a large multinational, with precisely the above-mentioned description ,” he said. It is learnt that the placement will be done out of Chennai for a multinational bank. And the qualification is, women candidates, with no specification excepting a good command of English and the right attitude.

Company CEO Saundarya Rajesh said a hiatus in a woman’s career is no longer the dampener it used to be to hiring corporates . |
“We have been meeting candidates with no prior experience in any industry and are actually stepping out of their homes in search of a career for the first time. With just a bit of orientation, they are able to become great performers in industries like banking, BPO and even recruitment consulting,” he added.

Company CEO Saundarya Rajesh said a hiatus in a woman’s career is no longer the dampener it used to be to hiring corporates . “Our database itself has well over 1,500 professionals who have taken a sabbatical due to maternity or transfers but who have blended back into the workforce,” she added.
But the current recruitment trend is not restricted to women managers with proven expertise, albeit with a break in career. It spans the gamut of young mothers who are first-time employees, voluntary retirement services optees, students over the age of 18 and even grandparents.
While the industry is quick to lap-up talent of any kind for its ever-increasing needs, on a temporary basis, there is a difference – the careers being crafted by Avtar for its clients are permanent ones – with all the trappings of PF, Gratuity and Performance bonus, but for just 50% of the working hours.
