Jumpstart is a job board and recruiting platform that uses AI to make recruiting and the job search easier. As the company states, “We’re making recruiting simpler and more personal for everyone — including us!” (Jumpstart). Diversity is a major focus for Jumpstart as it looks to build a more diverse talent pool while refining the recruiting process. Jumpstart is geared towards university students, especially those interested in the tech field although this may change in the future. The tech company which is located in San Francisco, California was founded in 2017 by Ben Herman and Adam Gefkovicz and currently has over 50 employees. It’s currently private and has raised $12.7M in total funding from investors with its last round being a Series A at $8.5M.

Design

If I were to describe Jumpstart’s website design in one word it would be: elegant.
