About Escape the City

www.escapethecity.org is aimed at ambitious, talented young professionals who aren't catered to by traditional job sites and recruitment services.  www.escapethecity.org connects them with exciting, innovative, non-mainstream organisations where they can use their skills to make a difference, have an impact, and be genuinely fulfilled by their work.

It was started by two EX-MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS, DOMINIC JACKMAN and ROB SYMINGTON, who are convinced that there is more to life than working in a job that doesn’t make you leap out of bed in the morning.

They are starting Escape the City because they believe that hundreds of thousands of young city workers feel exactly the same way.
