Ratings and reviews

Completely useless. I can't just log in to the app; I have to go through a series of screens, verification emails, etc., all to get stuck in a loop that takes me back to that first screen asking what school I'm looking for again. The phone app is absolute trash. **after finally getting in, it's even worse. Doesn't even have basic functionality for job search results. What part of "full time, in-person, within 35 miles of Minneapolis" sounds like I want a ton of remote work results in TX and UT?

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.
