What Makes a Job "VERSA Approved"? Our Flexibility Standards Explained

Let's be honest: the word "flexible" gets thrown around a lot in job ads these days.

But true flexibility isn't about vague promises or half-days on Fridays. It's about real options, mutual respect, and a structure that supports your whole life - not just your work hours.

At VERSA, we don't just list any job. Every opportunity we show you is “VERSA Approved” - and that means it meets our carefully crafted flexibility standards, designed around what professional women actually need.

So… what makes a job VERSA Approved?

1. Genuine Flexibility - Not Just Lip Service

We vet every employer to ensure they offer one or more of the following:
• Remote or hybrid working
• Part-time or reduced hours
• Job sharing or compressed weeks
• Outcome-based work (not time-based)
• Autonomy over when and where work is done

We ask the right questions up front, so you don't have to waste time on roles that don't deliver.

2. Family-Friendly Policies & Understanding

Many of the professionals in our community are balancing careers with caregiving. We look for employers who understand that:
• School runs, sick days and life happens
• Parental leave is properly supported
• There's no penalty for having a family

If an employer treats flexibility like a favour, not a framework - it doesn't make the cut.

3. Room to Grow (on Your Terms)

Flexibility shouldn't mean career stagnation. A VERSA Approved role is one where you can:
• Learn, develop and progress
• Take on leadership (if that's what you want)
• Be recognised for your impact - not your hours


We work with companies who invest in growth without expecting you to sacrifice your life for it.

4. Respect, Culture, and Communication

We prioritise roles where:
• Communication is clear and inclusive
• There's psychological safety and trust
• Flexibility is embedded in the culture - not just tolerated

We also take feedback from our community seriously - so if an employer isn't walking the talk, they don't stay on our platform.

5. A Two-Way Match

It's not just about skills, it's about fit. That's why our AI-powered matching tool considers:
• Your working style
• Your preferences
• Your values

We don't push jobs that might work. We help you discover the ones that truly fit.

Why It Matters

We know your time is valuable. We know your priorities are real. And we know the last thing you need is to waste energy applying for roles that turn out to be “flexible” in name only.

That's why VERSA jobs are different.
They're curated, vetted, and built with you in mind.
