Welcome to the Jungle

The Welcome to the Jungle team is proud to announce that we have raised a third round of funding for a total of 50 million euros! 

In addition to our legacy partners Revaia, XAnge, and Bpifrance, through its Digital Venture fund, this round introduces five new investors aligned with Welcome to the Jungle's DNA: blisce/, Cipio Partners, Groupe ADP, KOSTOGRI and RAISE Sherpas.

We plan to use this new investor capital to ramp up our employer branding solutions in France and expand them globally, with a specific focus on the United States. 🇺🇸

This growth strategy will allow us to go even further in our mission: to make #work actually exciting so that it can hold a more sustainable place in our lives.

With #BlackHistoryMonth, we need to not just focus the past but also remember that #inequality is happening in the right now. 

According to the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau, Black women were paid only 58% of what white men were paid.

We spoke to one woman who wants to squash the racial pay gap by coaching Black women on how they can advocate for themselves in the workplace.👇

Do you know what is considered an illegal question during a #job #interview?

These are legal questions. 

✅ "Are you legally allowed to work for them in the US?"
✅ "This position requires lifting of heavy objects. Can you lift up to 100 lbs.?” 
✅ "What is your desired salary for this position?" 

But this is when the same questions become illegal.

🛑 "Are you a US citizen?” 
🛑 "What medications are you currently taking?” 
🛑 "How much did you make in your last job?” 

So how to respond when you're asked these questions? 😳 

Kim Cunningham has a complete guide on illegal questions and how to best react. 👇

Your new company has offered you #equity compensation?

But you don't understand equity offers. 📈 🤔 📉

Beth Braverman has decoded equity compensation by putting together the questions you need to ask yourself before making any decisions on the offer.

She also looped in Rachelle Tubongbanua, CFP®, AWMA®, a private wealth advisor at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, Aaron Shapiro, founder and CEO of Carver Edison, and Jesse Meschuk global career and #HR expert and senior advisor with Exequity, to help answer each equity question.

So don't worry, we will go through this together. 🤝👇

January 2023 is already over. So WTF happened?

We rounded up some of the best work-related news stories in one place.

Oh, and we have organized it by numbers! 🤓

See how it all adds up.👇

Looking at the year 2022, the U.S. Department of Labor reports that even with the fear of a recession, high #inflation, and recent #layoffs, black workers saw one of the largest pay increases last year.

According to the analysis of the new data by the The Wall Street Journal, Black Americans saw a median raise of 11.3%. Additionally, weekly pay also increased at the fastest rate among the racial groups measured. In 2021, it was $805 and in 2022, it grew to $896.

In Canada 🇨🇦, a KPMG Canada survey polled more than 1,000 Black Canadians. It found that 9 in 10 respondents said their employers made effort to be more equitable and inclusive for Black employees.

But does that mean racial #discrimination in the workplace is over and solved? 

No, of course not. There is always the worry that these gains could be reversed. 

In the same survey, 84% of respondents said they wanted their employers to make stronger commitments and establish targets for hiring and promoting more Black Canadians.

Rob Davis, Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors of KPMG Canada said in an interview with The Toronto Star, “Don’t take your foot off the gas in terms of all of the progress that’s been made over the last couple of years, especially in terms of anti-black racism and breaking down systemic barriers.”

So for the first day of Black History Month, it’s always good to measure how far we have come, but it’s far better to realize there is always more work to be done.

January is national #mentoring month! So let's reflect on the state of mentoring. 

According to a report by Zippia

👉  As of 2022, 26% of U.S. employees work #remotely.

👉  As of 2022, 16% of U.S. companies are fully #remote 

👉  By 2025, 36.2 million American employees will be working remotely.

So the question becomes: If #hybrd/remote work is here to stay, does it spell out the end of mentoring as we know it? 

Read to find out what our experts had to say. 👇

"Feeling overwhelmed with job applications and struggling to write the perfect cover letter? 

ChatGPT is here to help with all your writing needs, including crafting professional and attention-grabbing cover letters. Say goodbye to endless revisions and hello to confidence in your job search. Let ChatGPT make the process a little easier for you! 📈  #ChatGPT #CoverLetters #WritingAssistance #AI"

⬆️  🤖   ⬆️   🤖   ⬆️

⚠️ This is what happened when we asked ChatGPT to generate a social media post on writing cover letters. ⚠️ 

So now we have turned the experiment towards the #job hunt. We are wondering if job seekers should be using ChatGPT to write their cover letters? 

To answer this question, we asked ChatGPT to write two sample cover letters. Then we had Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, Paige Poole, MBA, review them. 

Kim Cunningham writes about the results. 👇
