Palpable Score

40.5

/ 100

Kickoff is not a strong early-career employer because the clearest, most visible roles are contractor coaching roles that require prior experience and do not look like graduate entry points. Kickoff gets some credit for generally positive employee sentiment on review platforms, but limited public detail on hiring stages, onboarding, and paid early-career pathways keeps the score low.
