The app has a great design and offers many job opportunities. However, I have yet to receive any responses from employers. As an Information Technology student, I keep getting job offers for teaching, military, and law enforcement positions, which are unrelated to my field. Recruiters should be more attentive when reaching out to students to ensure the opportunities align with their qualifications and career goals.

Because you can't set job preferences for on-site or remote, and aren't matched by your actual resume skills or degrees, I often get "matched" or messaged by recruiters for jobs I can't apply to. They're either on-site and half a country away, or require degrees I don't have. Most of the recruiters are just copy pasting messages anyway and not actually engaging. So, this platform has not been very useful for my job search, and I'm very disappointed in it.

Good app, shows jobs in my area and much further, even when you enter in your mile range you'd like to stay within. Making things a little easier to navigate would be nice, such as being taken straight to the job post when I receive the "new job listing" update in my email. Instead, I have to go searching for it on my own and I don't always find it. Otherwise it's a good and helpful app.
