Future 50 star: Wikijob

The company: Wikijob

The bosses: Ed Mellett and Chris Muktar

Most jobs sites focus on vacancies. Wikijob takes a different approach, providing advice on all aspects of finding a job from free numerical reasoning tests and example cover letters, to panel interview tips. Big employers like Deutsche Bank and PwC use it to communicate with job-seekers. A US version has just launched.

Return to the Future 50 list.
