OMTs develop new start-up to help
job seekers and employers
Aidan Cramer (2005-2010) and
Matt Sinderberry (2005-2010), have
founded and developed an innovative
startup, They write:
“The concept behind JobLab came
to us at university where we (along
with a number of friends), struggled
to find paid internships. Any we
could find required repetitive
applications and were often met by
no response. Students waste time
applying to jobs they have no chance
of getting, and employers are having
to sift through countless, unsuitable
CVs and applications.
Picking up on this market
inefficiency and outdated process we, in
true start-up fashion, got to work from a
shed at the back of Aidan’s garden. After a
few months of market analysis, customer
research and a lot of coffee, we were ready
to pitch the idea to a number of angel
investors. We have since secured seed
funding to get the venture off the ground.
Web development is currently underway
on and the finished
platform aims to effectively connect
small business employers with students
and graduates seeking work through a
centralised, national platform.
On signing up, a student’s profile
becomes their concise, digital CV and a
short video introduction becomes their
cover letter. Employers simply enter the
requirements of their desired candidate and
are presented with the best matches, who
they can assess, contact and hire directly
through the platform.
So far we have signed up over 3,000
students (pre-launch) and are now reaching
out to employers to trial the site and recruit
for free, in return for some feedback to help
build a product of real value.
Any OMTs that sign up looking for
jobs or employers looking to hire, will
get priority access if they email us at
or visit the site at
