Marshmallow scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 4 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 25% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 65 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Marshmallow is a London insurance company founded in 2017 that prices motor cover for people who have recently moved to Britain. Its models use data beyond the traditional British driving record, which lets it quote fairly for migrants who are otherwise penalised. The company became one of the few black founder led unicorns in Europe.
