After your profile is completed, you can easily apply or get invited to jobs that are fitted for you, using our Matching System. We believe in connecting the right professional to the right role - and to do that we should firstly validate interest from both sides. We call this a match - when you believe a role is a good fit for you, and the recruiter is interested in your profile.

On the platform, when you apply for a job, the recruiter can only see details about your professional life. Your contact details are anonymized and will be displayed only after the company accepts your job application in the first week. Employers go through a thorough vetting process and accept the Terms & Conditions before activating job openings. The time-bound works both ways though - if the company invites you for a job, you can accept it or decline it within seven days, and if all goes well you will start the recruitment process. You can get the conversation started on the platform in the Messages section to ask and get answers to all the questions that popped up. If you faced any cases of unfair employment practices, please, report it immediately to [email protected]
