Hire on capability, not keywords.
We're changing the recruitment game. Real project work, not algorithms, is how talent should be discovered.
From 118 rejections to Ventureship.
Our co-founders met at Durham University and ran into the same wall: AI screeners filtering on keywords, not capability. Between them they collected 118 rejections in three months. The running joke became: some people have to start a company just to land a job.
We built Ventureship because it didn't exist when we needed it. Our team is personally invested in every single cohort we run.
Three convictions.
A keyword match isn't a hiring signal.
Algorithms filter on vocabulary, not on judgement. The best candidates are routinely rejected by software that's never seen them work.
Talent is everywhere. Visibility isn't.
Right now, the right opportunity doesn't always find the right person. We're trying to fix the visibility, not the talent.
The hiring decision should be the easy part.
After a Ventureship, companies have already seen who shows up, ships, and adjusts. If there's a hire to make, it makes itself.
