Business Development Representative - B2B

The story of Huzzle began not in a boardroom, but at the bustling London Startup Fair in 2020. It was here that co-founder Parham Rakhshanfar, representing a previous venture of Ingmar Klein's, was inundated with over 100 applications from incredibly talented students. The sheer volume of ambition and potential was inspiring, yet frustrating, as they couldn't hire them all. This experience planted a seed. For Ingmar, then a student in Switzerland juggling exams, the problem resonated deeply. He spent his nights in the university's 'Makerspace,' a place with a large whiteboard that became his canvas for innovation. During one of those late-night sessions, the idea clicked, and the first version of Huzzle was born on that very whiteboard. Ingmar knew execution was everything and immediately thought of Parham, whose skills were essential for the journey ahead. Parham, who was researching biases in recruitment for his degree, was instantly captivated by the idea.

The founding team knew that technology would be the cornerstone of their venture. A pivotal moment came when Ingmar posted a role on LinkedIn. After over 50 applications, the second interview was with Amit Choudhary. It was an instant connection. Amit related to the problem from his own student experiences and saw the immense potential in the idea. With the three founders united, they embarked on an intense three-month period of deep focus, translating their vision from Google Docs and Figma screens into a functional product. The first Minimum Viable Product (MVP) was launched at University College London (UCL) and the University of St. Gallen. The initial goal was simple: get the product into the hands of users and learn. The team traveled to London, immersing themselves in the student community, gathering feedback, and understanding their users' needs on a granular level. This user-centric approach became the company's DNA, evolving from a student-focused career platform into a global talent marketplace dedicated to breaking down geographical barriers and making meaningful work accessible to everyone, everywhere.
