Head of Business Operations,

Stuart

Working with Jumpstart was quick and easy. We were able to go from candidate shortlist to hire in a matter of two weeks; saving us from the pain of going though 500+ CVs. A great hiring hack for any startup looking for graduate level talent!

Head of Marketing,

Tonic Health

We were looking for a junior gem for our Programme Coordinator role. We weren’t even sure that we were going to hire a grad for this position, but we ended up doing so because Jumpstart introduced us to the best candidate by far! 

Programme Director,

Founders Factory 

I wasn’t sure whether or not we even wanted a graduate, but Jumpstart had such great graduates that we soon changed our minds…

Co-founder & COO,

Treasury Spring

We found a perfect graduate who just wants to problem solve and is really keen to get stuck in!

Co-founder and MD,

 Thirdfort

The quality of the candidate provided to us by Jumpstart was exceptional.  Having access to candidates of this quality from day one is a huge time saver, as the process of finding great candidates is typically long and arduous.  We would happily work with them again on future roles.

Fund Team Manager,
