For Talent

Make connections that actually matter.



1. Upload Your Resume

Make sure it's up to date and includes all of your latest projects, skills, and experiences. You can update your resume at any time. In order for your resume to be processed correctly, it needs to adhere to the following guidelines:


  • PDF format

    • Your resume must be in PDF format, this ensures it can be displayed correctly and consistently on all devices.


  • 5MB limit

    • Ensure your resume is under 5MB for quick and efficient processing. If your resume is larger than 5MB, try removing any images or compressing the file.


  • Text-based

    • In order for us to process your resume correctly, it needs to be "text-based". This means the text is selectable and not part of a scanned image or vectorized. You can check this by selecting the text in your resume. If you can't select the text, it's likely an image.


  • Not too short/long

    • Your resume should be between 1-3 pages long. More specifically between 2000 and 6500 characters.



2. Set Your Preferences

Set your location, availability, compensation requirements, and more. This ensures you only make connections based on what you're looking for. Make sure to keep them up to date.


Location

Search for and set your location. You can set your location to either a country, region, district, or place. A place can be a town, city, or neighborhood. You can then set your location limit, which limits your availability to a certain area.


For example: If you set your location to "USA," it means you're available to work anywhere in the country. You'll appear in searches where the location is set to the United States. However, you won't appear in searches for specific states, counties, or cities because that level of detail wasn't provided. To increase your visibility, it's best to set your location to a specific place and then broaden your location limit to a larger area, like the entire country.


Work Location Type

Select the type of work location you're looking for. You can choose between remote, on-site or hybrid. Note that remote work will still be limited to your location limits.


Work Type

Choose what type of work you're looking for. You can choose between full-time, part-time, contract, freelance, and internship.


Compensation

Set your compensation preferences as yearly, monthly, hourly, or project-based rates. These are your minimum requirements, so you won't be excluded from searches offering higher pay. If you leave a rate blank, it means you're open to negotiation. You also have the option to display your rate on your profile card—it's optional, but highly recommended.


Introduction

You can choose to write an introduction message or provide additional contact details. This is a great place to specify any details or requirements you would want a recruiter to know about before contacting you.


Availability

Specify your availability in days, from 0 to 365. This information helps recruiters understand your timeline and plan accordingly. If you're currently unavailable, set your status to Offline.


Key / Banned words

Want to only show up in specific searches? You can use key and banned words to do so. Key words are words that must show up in the search query for your profile to show up at all. Banned words are words that, if used in the search query, will prevent your profile from showing up. Note that this reduces your visibilty, making it harder for recruiters to find you in some cases.



3. Set Your Status

Your status is important, it determines how you can be discovered. You can set your status to public, private or offline. It affects searchability and visibility. Here are the differences:




4. That's It

No more messing around with job boards, you're now ready to be discovered. Make sure to provide contact details in your application.
