While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Not really invested in you.

By all intents and purposes, this should be a great company doing wonderful things and I'd like to be the bringer of good news but the company made me feel pretty neglected after I'd handed over payment for their services. I never spoke to the same person twice, staff turnover was huge so I found myself repeating a lot over the phone and by email. When things started to go wrong and my candidate left abruptly there was no help after. That's the feeling I get, there's no long term sustainable investment in companies, only the initial help, then getting their money and statistics that they can regurgitate to the government. Pretty disappointing.

Great Initiative

Firstly, this is a great initiative, I recommend akshayruparelia.com to any business looking to apply for the Kickstart Scheme. The whole process caters entirely to someone that is time-poor, these guys take care of everything.
Thank you

Excellent customer service throughout

I wanted to use the Scheme to onboard an Admin assistant and the whole team at AKR were very helpful. They responded to my needs promptly and with a great level of professional customer service.
