Job Profile is the structured version of your career. Where a résumé is a document laid out for a human, your Job Profile is the same information as data — which is what lets the platform build résumés for you, score you against a job description, and show you which skills a role wants that you have not evidenced yet.
What it holds
- Experience — each role, with dates, the organisation, and what you actually did.
- Education — qualifications, institutions and dates.
- Skills — each with a level and a verification status.
- Projects, certifications and links — anything that evidences the above.
Verified vs self-declared skills
A skill you type into your profile is self-declared. A skill the platform has seen you demonstrate — in an interview, an assessment, or a coding exercise — is verified.
The distinction matters and is never blurred: adding a skill to your profile can never mark it verified, because the whole value of the verified marker to a recruiter is that nobody can award it to themselves.
Filling it from a résumé
If you already have a résumé, upload it and the platform will extract your history into the profile rather than making you retype it. Extraction is good but not perfect — freelance roles with no company name, unusual date formats and non-standard section headings are the usual places it needs a correction. Read it through before relying on it.
Why it is worth the effort
Everything downstream reads this record. A thin Job Profile produces a thin résumé, a low ATS score against roles you are actually qualified for, and poor matching. Twenty minutes here is worth more than any single application.
