Why Youth Start Exists?

A social enterprise built on a simple belief: Young people don't fail jobs. Jobs fail young people.

Traditional recruitment agencies focus on speed and volume. Temp agencies churn through workers with no commitment. Permanent agencies charge high fees but offer no follow-up support. Young people are left to figure it out alone, often leaving within weeks, not because they lack ability, but because no one helped them.
Youth Start was created to change that.
We believe every young person deserves a permanent job, proper preparation, and ongoing support. Not just a placement, but a partnership. Our 12-week mentorship model addresses the real reasons young workers leave: lack of confidence, unclear workplace expectations, and no one to turn to when challenges arise.

Nick Calin

Founder

I've spent over 12 years working across recruitment, logistics, and team management, building businesses from the ground up and developing partnerships with major European logistics companies. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work across diverse industries and see recruitment from every angle, from managing operations to understanding what employers and workers truly need.
What struck me most during those years was the revolving door of temporary warehouse staff. I saw young people being labelled as "unreliable" or "job-hoppers," but the real problem wasn't them. It was the lack of structured support to help them succeed. No one was investing in their development or giving them the tools to navigate those critical first weeks in a new role.
That's why I founded Youth Start. I wanted to build something different: a recruitment model that puts people before profit and focuses on long-term outcomes, not quick placements. 
 
Young people don't need another temp job. They need someone who believes in them and helps them succeed. That's what Youth Start does.
