Quote from Thuli on why they were chosen as a finalist:

"What sets Hopscotch apart is how they disrupt the outdated gatekeeping model that has traditionally limited access to overseas work and development experiences to the wealthy or well-connected. Where old school recruitment agencies often act as passive middlemen or focus exclusively on local placement, Hopscotch builds an end-to-end platform: they source, screen, prepare, and support candidates from townships to tertiary institutions many of whom are first-generation graduates ensuring they’re equipped for global success."
