Salary benchmarks
Our take
Job searching is often considered to be the hardest part of building a career, mostly driven by the common lack of understanding in how the process works. Despite knowing this, career preparation is not often taught at universities, resulting in highly-skilled job seekers missing valuable opportunities.
Bright provides a graduate careers network, quizzing users to help them understand their relevant industries and roles, as well as any skill gaps they might have, to provide personalized internship and career recommendations. Users are also supported throughout the process with an online learning environment called Bright Network Academy, the content of which is personalized based on the user's unique skill profile.
Despite facing competition from online recruitment and learning platforms, Bright has uniquely recognized that before a job search begins, a graduate’s unique skill sets, personality traits, and goals must be understood. By considering such information and providing the necessary resources for learning, Bright aims to help maximize its users’ potential and land them with a career crafted specifically for them.
