I have to start by saying that I had no idea what to expect with The Mom Project when i applied to one of their open positions but I have been pleasantly suprised. I interviewed with the outside company then received multiple follow ups from The Mom Project reminding me to send thank you to the interviewer and basically keeping me posted. I got the offer for the job about 2wks after interviewing. So far so good. Only annoying thing is that I start as a 1099 contract employee so I have to pay taxes on the back end

I applied thinking I am dealing…
I applied thinking I am dealing directly with the hiring studio. I did not know they are not the studio and they will be sued because they are committing a crime.

Stay Away
After dealing with TMP for a few years now, I concur with the other reviewers here (and other sites) and think they are a scam. I suspect like how JP Morgan got tricked by Frank platform (or didn't do proper due diligence), the same applies to The Mom Project. They raise money - $80 million according to the blog & Crunchbase in 2021.
But that hasn't flowed through to the job seekers in terms of platform improvement and recruitment process. It appears that reality is they may tell their investors fibs. They line up talent on the site to bounce up numbers for investors, but there no real job placement, no real employment service and now the staff are obnoxious. I've never heard of anyone being placed by them or recommending them. I too have a solid CV and should at least have been put forward for some interviews. Instead silence and months later, maybe a notification saying the role has closed. Keep clear. There are better providers, even if you just stick with LinkedIn Jobs.

Fake Jobsite for PartTime Jobs
They do not hire at all. They must be using applications for other means (surveys, scams, marketing, etc)

Absolutely no inclusion!
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.
