    The jumpstart team have been amazing since the moment I signed up.

    You always have a person there to support you and the ability to book in with one of the mentors to help guide you through your upcoming interviews is extremely helpful.

    It only took about two months for me to find a role that I’m super excited to be joining and it is one that without the help of this team I would’ve had no chance achieving myself so I would highly recommend this process to anybody

    the job market is terrible, jumpstart absolutely fixes that. I cannot sing the praises of this platform enough, companies will GENUINELY look at your application and get back to you.

    Personally I found applying for jobs elsewhere to be impossible as there’s thousands of applicants for any given role and you get filtered out through AI. I found that with jumpstart, people actually look at your application and you as a person, which made the process so much easier. There are so many good companies on there too.

    As someone with an atypical CV (lots of entrepreneurial experience) jumpstart has been an absolute game changer.

    Another aspect that I find absolutely incredible is the level of support offered by Kabir and the team - so much guidance is offered and help when you need it.

    I truly cannot thank you enough for this experience, I was able to land a wonderful new role in a relatively short amount of time. Jumpstart offers a kind, supportive and human vibe in a very cold and brutal job market.

    Honestly, I'd been struggling for months especially, because I was trying to move from RevOps back into a frontline sales role. However, once I was onboarded, I was presented with tons of opportunities and was constantly supported throughout all stages of the interview process.

    What stood out for me the most, is that from applying for roles I knew the outcome within a few days at the latest, rather that getting ghosted by applications on other platforms. The quick turnaround made sure I was able to focus my energy on the opportunities that were actually going to convert.

    Cheers,

    Jasan

    Only took me 4 weeks to land my dream first role!! I can’t recommend Jumpstart enough. They’re so committed to ensuring your success, you really can’t beat them! Absolute game changer!

    Jumpstart is the best pathway to access the exciting startup environment in the U.K. From interviewing for the first time to signing your new contract, you will be supported by the team diligently. Every single team member will put their heart into helping you secure a role! I can't recommend Jumpstart enough ✨

  • Sara Ionete

    Being on the platform has been an experience in itself. The opportunity to meet so many startups in such a short period of time is rare, and I'd say the value goes beyond just the offers. Simply getting to speak with some of the world's most talented founders, working through the assignments, and connecting with interviewers is a learning experience on its own.

    What also stood out was the support throughout the assignments and the help received from the members, who are all truly a team of entrepreneurs. It genuinely felt like being part of a team, with a senior person right there to guide you and learn from.

    Jumpstart does exactly what it tells you it will - connects you with great opportunities in the start-up world and supports you massively in landing interviews and roles through 1:1 support (Sade helped me land a founding AE role). Defo the best way to secure a job!

    ★★★★★
  • Sanya Chhuani

    Jumpstart has been brilliant from start to end. Having access to a pool of jobs not seen on other platforms makes the job hunt 100 times easier. I really enjoyed all the catchup chats with founders as it felt a lot more relaxed than a typical interview (having already gone through the jumpstart screening).

    The resources available are also excellent to brush up on skills prior to interviewing

    ★★★★★
  • TonyGTM @ Omnea

    JumpStart has been such an incredible experience. The ease of application, the speed and the quality of offers available truly make it unreal. I could only recommend it!

    ★★★★★
  • Gal Gazit

    Jumpstart have been absolutely fantastic, the roles are available are amazing for recent graduates looking for a career in start-ups, and the platform is so easy to use. Highly recommend!

    ★★★★★
  • Dom Balfour

    Cannot speak more highly about jumpstart! From the beginning the process was friendly and they had a real hands on approach throughout with real people helping me and checking in! I had struggled to cut through the noise of applying for other jobs and getting a look in! Jumpstart helped me stand out! Thanks team! I’m grateful, it’s only been 3 weeks!
