What our start-up partners say about our early careerists.
We were looking for a junior gem and we weren’t even sure that we were going to hire a grad for this position, but did because Jumpstart introduced us to the best candidate by far!

Programme Director,
Founders Factory
Bud's experience hiring from Jumpstart was fantastic. With the quality of the graduates, it made us question if we had room to hire more than we set out to
Co-founder,
