The opportunity to leverage your talent and skills has never been better.

Not only are 21 million baby boomers heading into retirement, but the supply of 35- to 45-year-old workers is expected to decline over the course of the next five years. Consequently this virtual talent vacuum is leaving companies short on skilled and experienced professionals, but with more work than ever before.

That’s where you come in. According to market research, companies have realized they need to maximize female talent to remain competitive in today’s marketplace. They understand you may have taken a few years off from your career to meet personal priorities, but they must draw you back to help combat the shortage of talent they are facing. This shortfall encompasses multiple industries, including but not limited to, health care, banking and finance, marketing, legal, accounting and IT. Employers identify significant challenges finding your talent and experience, but have discovered A Professional Find is the way to connect to you.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, women now earn 59 percent of all bachelor’s degrees, 60 percent of master’s degrees and slightly more than half of all professional degrees. Fifty-three percent of law degrees and 78.5 percent of graduate degrees in the health sciences are earned by women, according to the Project for Attorney Retention.

These statistics are compelling. It is clear you are the solution. You can leverage your skills and talent, whether you are reen-tering the workforce or making a lateral career move, while maintaining a positive work/life balance.

To retain you, employers working with A Professional Find agree there is a shared solution: flexible working arrangements.
