HeadStart Careers Reviews 42

Varun is awesome to work with and learn from. He can really shed some helpful light on the more nuanced aspects of career building. Very flexible and reasonable as well.

HeadStart Careers helped me refurbish my profile and enhanced my resume into a highly competitive one. Varun was extremely prompt with his responses and I was constantly impressed by his knowledge in career guidance.
It was a key factor that got me a software development summer internship with a big tech company.

Headstart helped me improve my resume, expand my network, secure and ace interviews, and ultimately secure a job offer. Varun will help you adapt your resume to your goals, and was instrumental in helping me secure a research role in private capital.

I am 60 years old, work in cleaning industry, no licence nor vehicle yet to my utter disbelief the wonderful owner Zach & CEO Ashleigh have provided paid daily transport to my current cleaning contract based at Aldinga. Yet my job provider when asked to assist with fares, refused.... Government funded & not prepared to help obtain work. CENTRELINK OBLIGATION IS TO FIND WORK & STILL NO JOB PROVIDER ASSISTANCE!!
WITH ALL MY HEART & SOUL 100% RECOMMEND HEAD START RECRUITMENT TO EVERYBODY.
The support, help, kindness & 24/7 assistance would not be found through other agencies. Zach & Ashleigh are the absolute best & I adore them.

I highly recommend using Michael and Varun's services. I have done extensive research into career coaches and I am so happy with my decision to go with HeadStart Careers. Varun and Michael are extremely hands-on and go so far out of their way to help you. The resources I have been given have been beyond helpful and Michael recently helped me redo my resume, which has gotten me more interviews in this tough market. This new resume has been an absolute game-changer. They have also helped me become way more effective at networking. As mentioned, I spoke with a few other career coaching services and HeadStart Careers was the only company that provided me references of people who have used their services. I spoke with three of their customers and I was absolutely sold on their services. I could not be happier with my decision! Michael got surgery last week and he has still been texting me during his recovery to help me on my career journey.

Varun and Michael are very supportive and always there to help the mentees. They are considerate with my current status and answer my questions with knowledge and passion. They personally communicate with and coach me and other mentees, which is something that cannot be found in other mentorship programs. Highly recommended!

Varun has been a phenomenal individual with great experience. He always puts his clients first and shares tremendous insight into the industry, especially when an opportunity is open for you. I highly recommend his firm, and you will not regret the decision!

I highly recommend Varun and his services. Varun spends the time getting to know you and assessing your own unique situation to then help you optimize your approach. He gives you actionable strategies, contacts and helps your formulate your elevator pitch. He reformats your resume to better leverage your strengths. Varun was always on time, friendly, and great to work with.

Varun is a great mentor, have been consulting with him for almost two months now, irrespective of the connections he provides, his ability to design a perfect resume for the role we are interested in and resources he provides along with technical information with respect to job applications are top notch, would definitely recommend him if you are considering to get into Finance.

I've had the pleasure of being guided by Varun and it's been an extremely fruitful experience. As an individual working in finance and being an international student in the United States, many face issues when it comes to finding a job they'd be happy with and switching paths as openly as a citizen or a permanent resident. I was discouraged and found it very difficult to make these changes personally, and was on the verge of giving up until Varun guided me and genuinely lifted my spirits and gave me the boost of confidence necessary to see myself through the entire process. He gave me all the information necessary and walked me through each step. He provided me with necessary support that I couldn't find from other such or rather more well known industry firms. They were charging exorbitant rates and wouldn't provide even half the effort or energy that Varun has provided. More than anything he's created a comfortable environment for me to share my situation easily. I consider him a good friend who I can chat with on a daily basis and i appreciate his degree of emotional understanding which is what sets him apart from his competitors. I urge anyone who's in a similar position to give Varun a shot and find out for themselves, why Headstartcareers are the best option out there.

Varun goes above and beyond in helping you know your strengths and weaknesses, guiding you with the available options suited to your interests, and setting clear expectations. He helped me reorganize my resume, recommended places to apply and how, and provided me with valuable contacts and information. I have put into practice our one-on-one sessions and have seen positive results. In addition, I'm more confident in how to approach recruiters, human resources personnel, and key people with a better expectation of what's suited for me. Finally, Varun also makes you feel treated as a human demonstrating genuine interest in your career success.

What makes Varun great is that he himself has gone through the process of looking for a job in finance and consulting after his post MBA from NYU Stern. The experience he comes with is brilliant and he will go above and beyond to help you get a job of your preference. He has done amazing changes in my resume, gave me all the tricks and tips on how to network correctly and what to say and avoid in interview.
I was able to get a job with his guidance within a month. So I would recommend him to students who will graduate in a semester or so to start working with him as soon as possible!

Hesdstart was instrumental in helping me make the jump to the buy side. I had struggled to move from an IB coverage group into PE. Headstart helped me streamline my focus and refine my deal experience to better align with the MM PE shops I had been targeting using head hunters. I don’t know where I would be without Headstart, I am so happy and relieved I am where I want to be in my career.

Varun was wonderfully helpful in understanding how to frame my resume and story for my career goals, especially given my non-traditional finance path. His tips, tricks, and hands on assistance have already shown promise and I'm confident it will continue.

Excellent customer service. Key insights that I had not previously thought of in my approach to interviews.

Varun was very helpful in terms of presenting what type of PE opportunities there were for me as a Post-MBA candidate and given my specific background. He was able to provide a structured recruiting process and list of headhunters/industry contacts for outreach. He was also available outside normal hours to discuss any specific questions I had during the process, which was very helpful as he was quick to respond.

Booked a session with Varun and he was helpful in giving context on all the different roles in finance and how best to make a career transition. I would recommend speaking with him to best prepare for braking into the industry.

Varun has been invaluable in helping me land multiple first round interviews at T2 consulting firms in this tough job market. He helped me clean up my resume, conducted interview prep with me, and opened his network to me which has been the most impactful aspect of the service. 100% recommend to anyone having trouble with any part of the job search or interview process.

Varun has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire recruiting process for investment banking. From resume reviews to personalized mock interviews that prepare you for the real deal, he’s been there every step of the way.
