When our Founder & CEO Ainsley Johnstone came across Sally Yang's "Happy Bump Day” LinkedIn post, sharing her experience of being 6-months pregnant and back on the job market herself, Ainsley’s instincts told her to reach out fast! 
 
And we’re so glad she did with Sally joining the Think Talent team within days, boosting our Product & Design capability with her technology experience across in-house and agency recruitment. 
 
Passionate about encouraging more women to embrace careers in tech and highly-networked both here and overseas, Sally is a great example of the untapped talent potential in the market - if only employers are prepared to be more creative and more adaptable in their approach to work design. 
 
“If we’re ever going to shift the #diversityequityandinclusion equation, then employers need to do more than be empathetic,” says Sally, adding: “The solution to Australia’s skilled worker shortage might already exist, if only employers are prepared to look a little more deeply at what’s in front of them!” 

For Ainsley, the decision was hardly rocket science:"Top talent have babies from time to time and mothers should be supported during these important transitions. We are very happy to have benefited from others' short term thinking," says Ainsley. 
 
Sally’s desk is already filling up with a host of exciting Product, Design and UX roles – if you’re looking for great talent, or ready for a career move, reach out to Sally here.
