We’re excited to announce that Blackbullion has a brand new partner, Day One, and if you’re thinking about your next steps after university (or while you’re still studying), this could be one to check out.

Who is Day One?

Day One is a platform built around early career opportunities, matching students and recent graduates with employers who care more about your skills, potential, and values, rather than just what shows up on your CV. 

Some of the standout features:

  • Skills-based matching: you share your strengths, take assessments, and get matched with roles where you can visibly contribute from “day one.”

  • Role-based assessments: if you choose, you can complete things like data-analysis, cybersecurity, customer-service or admin testing, to show your ability beyond what you list on paper.

  • Fair and efficient process: once your profile is set up, the platform works to find roles that align with your skills; if you don’t land one right away, you’re still in the “pool” for other opportunities. 

Why This Partnership Matters

Here at Blackbullion, we’ve always believed that financial education isn’t just about managing your money, it’s about setting up your future: your career, your choices, and the path you want to take. Partnering with Day One lets us give you more than financial tools, we can help connect you to real jobs that value your potential, not just your past.

If You’re Looking for Work, Here’s Why You Should Check Day One Out

  • If you’re finishing uni (or have recently finished) and feel a bit uncertain about where to start, Day One offers a way to bridge that gap.

  • The skills-verification, assessments, and matching mean you might spend less time fishing through roles that don’t suit you.

  • Because they focus on more than just your grades, the platform is especially useful if you’ve got strengths (communication, problem solving, customer care, digital / tech skills etc.) that maybe don’t show up on your transcript.
