Debut: graduate jobs & advice

I have used the debut app for my final year in university for the purpose of hekping me find a graduate job. i am pleased to say debut has helped me secure a graduate job with DHL. their customer service is great, you can track your application and it makes you feel special when you recieve emails and updates of REAL recuriters that want to help you. I have been first to recieve updates in regards to general events (i.e. capgemini womens event, google) which i have been successful in attending which led to me networking with graduate recruiters and securing me an interview with graduate recuriters. Debut also fufilled the promise in giving £50 either cash or voucher if you secured a job with their app! This £50 went towards my first train ticket to my first graduates networking event with DHL. Thank you debut!! So much better than indeed or reed as it is soley for students

I spent about 3-4 hours on this app and while I love the concept and the articles, the rest of the app is not particularly functional. This is because of how laggy it is. I have a new iPhone 8 Plus (but not so new that it’s doing background set up actions eg camera roll stuff), nothing open and not on power saving mode. I’ve never had issues like this with any other more resource intensive app. Then why does it lag even when doing the personality test - seemingly the least resource intensive activity of all?! This makes anything timed beyond annoying and frustrating. The same applies to the two unity games from Deutsche Bank and EY. Great ideas! Fun implementation! But the general experience just feels unfair when it takes 5 seconds for a challenge to load (EY game) but once it is loaded the timer goes from full to empty in 3 seconds. Same with the Deutsche Bank game, whereby you accidentally repeat a challenge because it managed to let you know you lost and registered your click as the replay button, before you even realized you lost! Even the initial form for your credentials doesn’t feel as smooth as it should. Overall, it feels like a simple software optimization problem that is locking me out from enjoying the rest of the app. Please fix it!

Thanks to Debut I’ve been able to secure my dream job in a very competitive market. I would definitely recommend the app to any undergraduates/graduates looking for suitable roles. The app is so easy to use and has many different opportunities in a vast range of sectors which are constantly added to and developed. I was able to secure my dream job from a talent spot. The talent spot feature is most definitely the highlight of the app because you can be invited to apply by a company/firm or even be invited directly to assessment centres without submitting an application form or receive invites to exclusive employer events. I cannot thank the founders enough for making the job search and recruitment process so simple yet innovative and suited to our times. 100% recommend!

I’ve had this app for over a year. There are so many opportunities offered to students like me. Finding a job is a job itself and Debut makes it way easier allowing you to attend special events and listing all the opportunities based on your interests. Just to give you some evidence: I managed to secure a full time job at Bloomberg LP before finishing uni and with no previous internship at the firm, all thanks to the collaboration between Debut and Bloomberg! Amazing app, I have seen it developing since the beginning and the results are tangible by the day. 5/5, highly recommended to all students!

The apps use of “talent spots” is very misleading. It seems as though you’ve been headhunted for a role based on your debut profile but you haven’t. You have not been selected for any particular role as the app would let you think. Instead their algorithms match you to various companies where you’re sent an automated message inviting you to apply for a role through the same application process as everyone else. I received a notification saying I had been “fast tracked” by a company, but when I clicked the link AND searched for this in the app it was nowhere to be found. The app is a facade. It has you thinking employers are actively scouting candidates through the app. They’re not. This app is great for establishing what grad schemes are out there, when companies have events etc but that’s about it. It has not boosted my job search at all and I feel mislead whenever I use it. This app definitely needs more transparency.
