This platform is one of the worst I have ever dealt with. Marketed to students and graduates as a career tool, it actually functions as a data trap, making it very difficult for users to manage or delete their personal information. From a data protection perspective, this company is a disaster. The right to erasure is fundamental, yet they go out of their way to complicate this process. Instead of providing clear means to delete accounts and personal data, they inundate users with circular help pages and vague instructions. This is not just inconvenient—it shows blatant disregard for legal requirements and user rights. Individuals are left in limbo, with sensitive data lingering on a system they wish to exit. For a company operating in Europe and the UK, this behavior is inexcusable and possibly unlawful. Additionally, the platform itself is poorly designed and unhelpful, primarily benefiting institutions and recruiters rather than the individuals whose data fuels it.
