How does my profile become searchable to hiring managers and companies?

Understand what it takes to make your profile searchable and attractive to top employers on One Degree

Before your profile can pop up in employer searches, it needs to pass our verification process. This ensures that everyone on our platform is just as serious and qualified as you are. Let's walk through what you need to get verified and visible to companies.

1. Complete your profile: fill every section completely. A fully fleshed-out profile doesn’t just check a box—it tells your professional story.

2. Stay relevant: you should ideally be actively working in the Tech industry. This keeps our pool of professionals well-suited for the roles that pop up.

3. Showcase your experience: have at least a minimum of three years experience in a technology related role. If this is you -  great! Make sure you add all your relevant work experience in your profile and the skills you've acquired along the way - this helps you to shine in the search results.

4. Be clear about remuneration: adding your hourly rate and/ or annual salary expectation is absolutely key. Transparency here helps match you with the right opportunities and sets expectations upfront for any opportunities that come your way. 

5. Highlight your education: add any relevant education and professional qualification information. From Degree's and diplomas to professional certificates and licenses, list them all - it adds to your credibility and appeal.

6. Smile for the camera: snap a professional-looking photo or selfie for your profile. It’s often the first thing employers will notice, so make a good first impression with a great picture that best represents you.
