Backr

Backr helps you build connections and opportunities in the world of work. About Us: 80% of jobs are never advertised & most of us find work by word of mouth, so no matter how many CV's you send out or interviews you go to, if you don't have the right connections you're massively missing out. So what do you do if you don't have the right contacts to help you get the job you want? You build them. That's where Backr comes in.

People who are doing the sorts of job you want to do, who can give you tips and advice, and can connect you to opportunities they hear about. People in organisations with interesting opportunities up for grabs - paid or voluntary - that'll boost your prospects, skills and confidence. people and 150 businesses and community organisations have already signed up and have helped us shape the service to help them build their confidence, connections and momentum.
