While qualifications on a CV are important, they don’t fully encapsulate an individual’s potential. We’ve observed the limitations of traditional CVs that often focus solely on academic achievements, neglecting vital interpersonal skills and personality traits essential in today’s job market.
Startingpoint draws on the insights of three founders. Two manage a specialist school for children excluded from or unable to attend mainstream education, and the other, with years running a recruitment agency, recognised many young people who were not academically inclined and struggled to showcase their abilities due to conventional CVs emphasising educational results. This included his son, who had been diagnosed with autism and faced challenges with mainstream schooling and worrying about disclosing his neurodiversity to employers.
At Startingpoint, we’re transforming this narrative. We enable students to showcase themselves as more than a list of qualifications, showcasing their skills, talents, motivation, creativity and potential. Our platform assists individuals in identifying and promoting their inherent skills and values, allowing them to stand out in job applications and beyond.
This journey transcends job hunting; it’s about discovering roles that align with personality and talent while enhancing earning potential and job satisfaction.
Let’s work together to bridge the gap between potential and opportunities.
