Multi-Media Showcase Profile

Web portal and mobile app

Our web-based portal and mobile app are both secure and easy to use. Built to the highest standard to ensure your athletes have fast, reliable access to building their profile and accessing career advice and guidance while ensuring all data is kept totally safe and secure. We support the process of onboarding for athletes with dedicated support from mentors to evidence achievements and showcase skills.

Safeguarding: Putting the athlete first

Our unique messaging function means that the contact between the athlete and employer is totally safeguarded. An athlete interested in communicating with an employer must have the connection approved by the school mentor. All following communication does not need to be approved but is duplicated to the mentor. Athletes cannot message other athletes or view their profiles. This is to offer discretion to the athlete and protect them from potential online abuse.

Employers can only see the anonymised profile of an athlete. All personal information is seen only by the candidate and the mentor.

Startingpoint is fully encrypted with security measures in place to comply with GDPR and keep your data safe.
