I knew this company would not do what their intended purpose was set to do and if it would work it would not work for African American mothers because the assessments that many of their partner companies utilize do not promote diversity, equity, or disability inclusion. It's unfortunate that many of the roles are removed without any response from the companies that post onto the website. The site isn't any different than some of the other unresponsive career sites.

The Mom Project is a blacklist for women w/children
The Mom Project gathers a list of women expecting, or with children and adds them to a block list for hire. No employer wants to hire a woman with children because she is a liability. Companies don’t like to pay FMLA or accommodate you due to a child’s illness/any needs that will cause an employee to have to leave work early/an extended period of time.

They called the wrong person to congratulate! Ha!
I'm a qualified C-level candidate with 20 years of experience in my field, and a stellar resume. About a month ago, a rep from MP reached out to screen me for an interview, telling me what to expect in the process. The first thing I was expecting was an email from the company to schedule a first interview. This did not happen. About a week after my discussion with the MP rep, she reached back out to tell me how the company I interviewed with thought that I was a great candidate, and that they'd like to schedule another interview. Right - I never even interviewed with the company. She called the WRONG candidate to congratulate them about moving forward. Now, I thought this was actually funny and didn't take personal offense, but how inept do you have to be to call the completely wrong person. Honestly, you deliver news like this to a more fragile person (this process can be stressful), and it could emotionally crush them. Shame on you, MP. After this, I heard NOTHING back from MP, not even an apology.
So really, it's a glorified recruitment agency operating under the veil that it cares about Moms (I'm sure there are plenty of non-parents using this service as well).
I just reached out to them to not just "deactivate" my account, but delete it (there is no option to do this manually myself). We'll see how that unfolds.

JUST DON’T - TOTAL SCAM
JUST DON’T.
Not that I even need to add to this pile of awful reviews and same notices - but it was the same for my mom and me.
I am a solidly qualified candidate who was applying for jobs I could easily obtain. After months, I didn’t even get one call. One email. Nothing. I switched to indeed and had calls coming in within a week.
My mother - a former CCO and VP of a major international company also received no calls or emails for months of applying. She also loved to indeed and had a job paying $200+/hr within a WEEK.
Anyone else want their money back or we get together to sue? I’m sick of this bots for job posts BS and people thinking this is ethical or legal behavior.

I created an account
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.

They are misrepresenting 100% remote positions
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.

Terrible hiring service
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.
