Debut Feature Spotlight What is a Talent Spot and how to get one - Debut Hi Debutants! Welcome to the first of our  Debut Feature Spotlight series. Were not usually ones to toot our own horn, but we thought it would be useful to write  some walk-throughs about our most important app features. As the weeks go by well have more articles about our other useful features. For now, read on for our first post, all about the Debut Talent Spot. What is a Talent Spot? It is a private message from an employer to you on the Debut app. Employers use Talent Spots to let their chosen candidates know they want them to apply for a specific opportunity. When you get Talent-Spotted by an employer (like Arcadia, EY, Microsoft, LOreal and many more), you get a push notification on the app. Top tip:  Dont miss out on your Talent Spots! Turn on your push notifications, because most Talent Spots are time-specific. Once the opportunity is gone, its gone forever. How many different Talent Spots are there? There are absolutely  loads.  A few examples of Talent Spot opportunities include: Fast-track to assessment centre Fast-track to telephone interview Fast-track to video interview An intro me a one-on-one meeting with a recruiter at an event A telephone call from the employer An invite to an event held at the employers HQ An invite to Debut-exclusive event An invite to a webinar An invite to a careers fair A direct invite to apply for a specific job An invite to play a game on the Debut app or take part in a competition TLDR; Talent Spots can come in many different forms. But whatever it is, take that little push notification as your first step through the door to your dream job. How can I get Talent-Spotted? There are a two very important steps. Read this carefully.
