Securing a graduate role with Board Intelligence - Top tips from Dan, a Product Specialist

Created on 23 Jan 2020

We caught up with Dan after he started his exciting new role as a Product Specialist. We wanted to find out why he chose Board Intelligence and how the application process was for him. 

Why did you choose Board Intelligence?

My first introduction to Board Intelligence (BI) was through Bright Network. I was contacted by a very friendly recruiter - Julia. During our phone call, she discussed BI and what their mission was. I immediately became interested and believed I suited this company; once I saw their offices and members of my team, I knew I wanted to work for them.

How did you find the application process? Were there any bits you particularly enjoyed? Or found challenging?

My application process was incredibly quick. Within a week, I had my initial conversation with Julia, to a face-to-face with Jari at Board Intelligence and a subsequent offer! Julia was incredibly prompt at setting up my interviews with Jari, as well as providing me with useful tips about what to expect. I was made to feel very relaxed during both my telephone and face-to-face interviews; this ensured I was my true self. Julia even sent a good luck message before my final interview, which helped ease my nerves!

Bright Network truly has employed people that care about you and your situation! I had some pretty awful experiences with other recruitment companies beforehand, so Bright Network was a breath of fresh air! Have faith that they can find positions that match your skillsets and they will guide you through all stages.

What three tips would you give to BN members looking to follow in your footsteps?

  1. Trust in their recruiters - they truly know what they're doing!
  2. Listen to their tips for interviews!
  3. Don't give up. Applying for jobs can be difficult at times, but keep your head up, and the right role is out there for you.

How did Bright Network help?

Bright Network was fast, effective, and very friendly throughout my entire application process. They helped me find my new career!
