Fairygodboss, Herkey, and The Muse Partner to Drive Gender Diversity in the Workplace

HerKey, India’s largest career engagement platform for women, is taking a significant step toward partnering with The Muse, a leading U.S. career exploration platform, and Fairygodoboss, the largest U.S. based career community for women. This partnership will enable all three organizations to access a broader talent pool, focusing on sourcing top women talent from the U.S. and India, and advancing gender diversity in the workplace.

Over 1,000 companies work with Herkey, Fairygodboss, and The Muse to promote their employer brand and hire from a growing pool of 8 million monthly active users. Our audience on average has over 5+ years of experience in areas such as marketing, sales, engineering, customer support, and finance.  Over 35% report not using legacy sites such as Linkedin or Indeed; leveraging our active community, sponsored community events and content, and personalised coaching to accelerate their careers.

The partnership is set to unlock new opportunities for women professionals and businesses by connecting U.S.-based employers with a robust network of talented women professionals from across India and vice versa.

Neha Bagaria, Founder & CEO, Herkey says, “With our entry into the U.S. market, we are building bridges between diverse talent pools in two of the world’s largest economies. This partnership with The Muse aligns with our vision to not only enable women professionals but also support organizations in achieving their diversity goals on a global scale.”

David Bethoney, President, The Muse says, “Expanding into India represents an exciting opportunity to bridge diverse talent ecosystems in one of the fastest-growing economies, with a remarkable 7.2% growth rate—the second highest among G20 countries. Partnering with HerKey allows us to extend our mission of empowering women professionals and to support companies hiring in India that are committed to building inclusive and diverse workplaces. Together, we can drive meaningful progress toward global gender diversity goals”.

This partnership will also benefit women professionals by giving them access to a broader range of career opportunities in both the U.S. and India. Through The Muse, Fairygodboss, and HerKey, professionals will be able to connect with companies committed to diversity and inclusion, offering them the resources and guidance necessary to thrive in today’s global workforce.
