Why GetDesq
Most graduates track their job search in a spreadsheet — or worse, their head. Neither tells you whether you're making progress, or why you're not getting callbacks in a competitive graduate market. GetDesq does.

Capture your degree projects, internships, and achievements in STAR format. Always ready for the next interview.
Paste a job ad and instantly see which keywords your CV covers — and which gaps to close before you apply.

Give your placement coordinator or recruiter shared access. They update your board — you stay in control.
Track
Drag graduate roles across columns as you progress — Radar, Applied, 1st Interview, 2nd Interview, Offer. Add notes, contacts, and tasks to each one. Paste a Seek URL and we'll import the job description automatically.
No more wondering where things stand. The board gives you a complete, live picture of your entire search at a glance — so you can focus on the applications that matter.
