inicio helps you explore career paths, understand what they're really like, and prepare to pursue them with confidence. Here's exactly how it works.
Get started
The 4 step journey
Step 1: Tell us about yourself
Share what matters to you
We start by getting to know you - not just your CV, but your actual interests, values, and strengths. Answer a few questions (takes less than 5 minutes) and we'll build a picture of what careers might genuinely suit you.
Unlike generic career tests, we don't box you into predetermined categories. We're exploring possibilities, not limiting them.
What you'll do:
- Answer questions about your interests and values
- Share what matters to you in a career
- Tell us about your strengths
Step 2: Get personalised career matches
Discover paths you've never heard of
Based on what you told us, we'll suggest career paths tailored to you - including roles you've probably never considered. These aren't random job titles; they're carefully matched based on your unique profile.
This is where most people have their 'aha' moment: discovering a career that actually sounds interesting.
What you'll get:
- Personalised career path suggestions
- Options beyond the obvious job titles
- Paths that match your actual interests and values
Step 3: Explore careers in depth
Understand what roles are really like
Found something interesting? We'll show you what that career actually involves - not just generic job descriptions, but real insights into day-to-day work, required skills, progression paths, and how people actually get there.
You'll also discover companies that align with your values and work style, giving you a complete picture before you start applying.
What you'll learn:
- Day-to-day responsibilities and tasks
- Skills and qualifications you'll need
- Realistic career progression paths
- Companies that match your values
Step 4: Prepare to apply with confidence
Create tailored applications and practice interviews
Once you've found careers that excite you, we'll help you prepare everything you need. Generate tailored CVs and cover letters for specific roles, then practice interviews with instant feedback until you feel ready.
When you're confident, you can apply directly to companies - using the insights and materials you've created with inicio.
What you'll create:
- Tailored CVs for specific roles
- Customized cover letters
- Interview practice with live feedback
- Application tracking to stay organized
How the matching works
inicio uses your responses to build a detailed profile of what matters to you. We then match you with career paths based on:
Your interests and passions, not just job titles you've searched for
Your values, work-life balance, impact, creativity etc
Your strengths, what you're naturally good at
Your experience, but we don't limit you to it
Unlike job boards that show you what's available, we show you what's possible - including careers you never knew existed.
What makes inicio different
Discovery-first, not application-first
Most platforms assume you know what you want. We help you figure that out first.
Real insights, not job listings
We focus on understanding careers deeply, not just sending you to apply everywhere.
Built for people who don't know yet
If you're stuck searching the same roles or don't know where to start, inicio is for you.
Common questions
How long does it take?
The initial questionnaire takes about 5 minutes. Exploring your matches and career insights can take as long as you want - some people spend an hour, others come back over several days.
Do I need to know what I want to do?
Not at all! inicio is specifically built for people who don't know what they're looking for yet.
Do you provide job listings?
No - we help you discover and understand career paths, then prepare your applications. You'll apply directly to companies using the insights and materials you've created.
Is it really free?
Yes! You can use inicio for free to get career matches, explore paths, and create your first application. Premium (£2.99/month) gives you unlimited access.
How accurate are the career matches?
Our matches are based on your unique profile, not generic categories. They're designed to show you possibilities, not dictate your future - you choose which paths to explore further.
