Inclusive hiring. Stronger teams.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn’t always.

At She Matters, we work with organisations to recognise overlooked talent, remove barriers and create workplaces where women can thrive.

Through advisory, workshops and speaking, we help make inclusion part of everyday working life.

How we can help

Practical support. Meaningful change.

Creating a workplace where women can thrive takes more than good intentions. We help organisations turn their commitment into practical action through advice, learning and meaningful conversations.

Recruitment

Looking for talented women to strengthen your team? We can explore focused recruitment opportunities that connect employers with skilled professionals whose experience deserves to be recognised.

Women together at a She Matters gathering

Our why

Talent deserves opportunity.

We believe every woman deserves the chance to be recognised for her skills, experience and potential.

She Matters was founded in 2017 to challenge the barriers preventing refugee and migrant women from accessing meaningful employment in the Netherlands. Through our work with women and employers, we came to understand something important: opening the door to employment is only the beginning.

What happens next matters just as much.

Today, we bring that experience into our work with organisations, advancing gender equity beyond recruitment by helping create workplaces where women feel valued, supported and able to progress.

Because recognising talent is one thing. Creating the conditions for it to thrive is another.

“When systems are designed fairly, talent doesn’t just emerge, it stays, grows, and leads.”

Christina Moreno, Founder & CEO, She Matters

Why it matters

Better opportunities. Stronger organisations.

When women’s skills and perspectives are recognised, organisations have more opportunities to build stronger, more capable teams.

But attracting talent is only part of the picture. The way people are welcomed, supported and given opportunities to progress shapes whether they can contribute and grow.

That’s why we look beyond hiring. We help organisations examine the everyday practices that influence women’s experiences at work, from recruitment and leadership to belonging and career development.

Our experience

Experience that informs action.

Our work has brought us together with women, employers and partners across different industries and professional backgrounds.

From career development and recruitment to conversations about workplace inclusion, these experiences have shaped how we understand the opportunities and challenges women encounter throughout their working lives.

Today, we bring those insights into our work with organisations, connecting lived experience with practical approaches to hiring, retention and progression.

Looking beyond the placement

Through The Gift, a small pilot involving Lotus Flower Programme alumni, we explored women’s experiences after entering employment.

Interviews and workshops brought attention to the importance of workplace communication, feedback, belonging and confidence.

The experience reinforced a central belief behind our work today: supporting women doesn’t end when they get the job.

For women

Your experience matters. Your future matters.

Your skills, ambitions and experiences deserve to be recognised.

Whether you’re exploring new career opportunities, returning to work or finding your next step in the Netherlands, She Matters is here to help you explore what’s possible.

Through our recruitment activities and Foundation programmes, we work to create opportunities for women to connect, develop and progress.

Our Foundation

Opening doors. Creating possibilities.

Every woman brings skills, experience and potential. Yet access to meaningful employment isn’t always equal.

Through She Matters Foundation, we work to expand opportunities for refugee and migrant women in the Netherlands, building on our experience in career readiness, mentoring and professional connections.

Together with partners and supporters, we aim to create pathways that help women build meaningful working lives.

Our why

Talent deserves opportunity.

She Matters began in 2017, supporting women with refugee and migration backgrounds to find meaningful work in the Netherlands.

We saw the skills and experience women brought, and the barriers that stood in their way. Creating opportunities meant working with employers too.

That led us to establish She Matters B.V., helping organisations make hiring fairer and build workplaces where women can thrive.

Why it matters

Better opportunities.
Stronger organisations.

When people feel valued and can contribute, they bring their ideas, experience and different perspectives to the team.

Fairer opportunities give women room to grow and organisations more reasons for talented people to join and stay.
