Part-time Professionals Forms to Offer Orange County Mothers Flexible Work Solutions

United States of America (Press Release) September 18, 2007 -- Ladera Ranch, Calif. – Part-time Professionals’ (www.part-timeprofessionals.com) founders and managing partners, Jessica Riester and Kathi Tabrizi, understand the benefits of part-time work. Kathi Tabrizi worked part-time for Pepsi after the birth of her twin daughters who are now nine. After the birth of her eldest daughter who is now four, Jessica Riester left her full-time job with venture-backed AccentCare , a health care staffing company in Irvine, to focus on motherhood. “It was a startup and I was working 60+ hours a week to keep up with the constant change and acquisitions. It was a dream job for someone just out of business school looking to cut their teeth, but not for a new mother.” In the years that followed, Jessica had the same question for each recruiter that contacted her--“Do you have anything part-time?” Each time, the answer was no. It wasn’t until a few years later that Riester found a part-time position at Disney .

"I loved the balance of being in an office setting, working with other professionals but still spending quality time with my kids. When I talked to my friends about it, they said they wanted me to help find them a similar arrangement – that’s when I knew there was a need for an agency that would support mothers who wanted to balance work and family." said Riester. "Our focus is to help match professionals who want flexibility with challenging and rewarding work. Unlike other staffing companies, Part-time Professionals has access to valuable talent that has opted out of full-time work. According to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center (www.pewresearch.org) six-in-ten of today's working mothers say part-time work would be their ideal, up from 48 percent in 1997.

Part-time Professionals is a comprehensive recruiting and staffing company providing permanent part-time placement, temporary part-time contract staffing and other flexible work solutions. By partnering with Part-time Professionals, companies will be able to attract and retain top talent that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Recognizing a need in the recruiting and staffing space for flexible work solutions, Part-time Professionals was founded in July of 2007.
