Roleshare is a platform for vacancies that focuses on pairing job seekers so that they can apply for roles that allow job sharing.
Visitors to the website are invited to browse the profiles of fellow users to try to find an appropriate match. Once a match has been identified and confirmed, the two job seekers can apply to one of the positions on the Roleshare website in a single application.
Roleshare works with a variety of employers to list any vacancies eligible for role sharing.
Citing the fact that 35% of companies in the Fortune 100 offer shared roles but that only 1-3% of employees actually share them, Roleshare positions its offering as an innovative tool to help jobseekers find part-time employment in full-time roles.
It also argues that role sharing can be good for increasing diversity in top positions, by giving more opportunities to applicants who may have found themselves the second, third, or fourth applicants in the past.
