We support experienced professionals when they are in a transition stage of their careers
Experienced professionals 45+ have honed their their skills over long careers. At WoWT we understand the value of that experience to business, so we are flipping the traditional recruitment model to enable professionals and employers to connect more easily.
Our employment platform is the only one designed specifically for professionals 45+, to showcase their skills and experience directly to employers.Â

Debunking the myths
Myths about mature-age workers contribute to negative stereotypes that limit their opportunities. Constantly debunking these myths in a range of forums is necessary to encourage employers and younger people to think differently about their older colleagues.
