The Bench Program
The Full Story
Welcome to the Bench Program: Empowering Women and Moms to Lead in the Remote Workplace
At PLS, we believe that the best recruiters are made, not found. Our Bench Program was born from a simple observation: some of the most talented and dedicated recruiters we’ve seen are women, particularly moms, who bring a unique blend of resilience, multitasking prowess, and determination to their work. These qualities are often underestimated in the traditional workforce, but at PLS, we recognize them as the key ingredients to success.
​
Why the Bench Program?
The Bench Program was not just created; it evolved naturally from years of experience in the recruitment industry. After 15 years of recruiting, including training countless recruiters, we realized that there was a sweet spot missing in the industry—one that could only be filled by empowering women and moms who have the drive to change their lives and, in turn, the lives of others.
​
We focus on training the next leaders and exceptional PLS recruiters! These are not just jobs—they’re gateways to careers with no limits, where participants can grow, thrive, and achieve their wildest dreams.
​
Our Unique Approach
The Bench Program is built on flexibility, understanding, and real opportunities. We work remotely, with flexible hours that allow our participants to balance their professional ambitions with their personal responsibilities. This isn’t about just getting by; it’s about thriving in every aspect of life.
​
Our selection process is rigorous. We look for candidates with “skin in the game”—those who need to succeed because it would be a game-changer for them and their families. We’re looking for people with big dreams and the drive to make them a reality. The Bench Program isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to rewrite your story.
​
Support and Growth
Training and mentorship are at the core of our program. Participants receive hands-on training, engage in round-robin mentoring with senior consultants, and get real-time feedback on their work. This immersive experience is designed to build confidence, hone skills, and prepare them for success in the recruitment industry.
​
Our participants have gone on to achieve incredible things. From former teachers and crossing guards to insurance professionals and car saleswomen, they have transformed their lives, joining the ranks of Senior Talent Partners in industries like medical devices, cybersecurity, FinTech, and biopharmaceuticals.
​
Changing Lives, One Career at a Time
The Bench Program is more than just a training initiative—it’s a life-changing opportunity. We’re teaching women to fish in a pond where there are unlimited fish, empowering them to take control of their futures and create a reality that aligns with their dreams.
​
Our long-term vision is to expand the Bench Program, offering multiple cohorts throughout the year and continuing to focus on moms who are ready to take the wheel and steer their families towards success. As PLS grows, so too will our commitment to providing these opportunities.
​
Measuring Success
Success in the Bench Program is twofold: it’s about happiness and confidence in our participants, and it’s about the rave reviews and loyalty from our clients. When our clients see the value and dedication of our consultants, they often request to convert them to full-time employees—proof that the Bench Program is not just filling roles but creating leaders.
