We connect motivated and skilled young people with organisations seeking to make a positive impact.
Qualifications matter, but they don't encapsulate a person's potential. Traditional CVs focus on academic results and neglect the interpersonal skills, attributes and character that today's employers actually recruit for.
We enable young people to show themselves as more than a list of grades — their skills, talents, motivation, creativity and potential. This is not just about job hunting. It's about finding roles that fit a person's talent, and improving earning potential and job satisfaction along the way.
Two of our founders run a specialist school for children excluded from or unable to attend mainstream education. The third spent years running a recruitment agency, meeting young people who were not academically inclined and had no way to show what they could do — including his own son, who is autistic and worried about disclosing his neurodiversity to employers.
Let's work together to bridge the gap between potential and opportunities.
Designed alongside the schools, colleges and mentors who use it every day.
Shaped by two decades of watching good candidates get filtered out by a CV.
Including neurodivergent young people and those outside mainstream schooling.
Educators, recruiters, technologists and advisors — select anyone to read their full background.

“Startingpoint is a real passion project for me, enabling people to understand their skills better and fulfil their true value.”
A demo takes half an hour, and a whole school can be set up in about an hour.
