Rachel Whalley was hired as an Executive Assistant after being messaged through Welcome to the Jungle sourcing function. Rachel highlighted Welcome to the Jungle candidate-first approach as what made Welcome to the Jungle stand out.

 

“I loved the questions and the pointers - all information you could want about a company is right there, their Glassdoor rating, the gender diversity, etc. And the guides on best to write your profile really lowered the bar to applying to jobs I loved.”
