How do I create the best profile on hackajob?

If you want to get the most out of hackajob, start by making your profile as clear and detailed as possible.

Detailing your experience

To showcase your experience effectively, keep the following in mind:

Keep your CV up to date

Make sure your CV includes all relevant roles, certifications and projects. It should align with your LinkedIn profile for consistency.

Connect projects to companies

If you worked on commercial projects, specify the company they were delivered for. This helps employers understand the scope and context of your work.

List tools and technologies used

Include the tools, systems or platforms you used in each role. This helps Archer connect your experience with employer requirements.

Describe responsibilities and impact

Add at least three clear responsibilities or achievements for each role. Where possible, include outcomes, improvements or measurable results. The more context you provide, the easier it is for employers to understand the value you bring.

Align seniority with experience

Make sure the level of your job titles reflects your commercial experience. Accurate titles help improve matching quality.

Other important details

There are a few additional fields that improve matching accuracy and save time later in the process:

Phone number

You will be asked to provide a phone number. Employers will not see it unless you accept an interview request. It may be used for interview reminders.

Right to work or visa information

If applicable, include your visa type and expiry date. This helps determine eligibility and whether sponsorship may be required.

Salary expectations

Being clear about your salary expectations helps ensure you only see roles that align with what you are looking for. You can always update this later.

Current and preferred locations

Specify where you are currently based and whether you are open to hybrid, onsite, remote or relocation opportunities.

Links to external profiles

You can optionally add links to LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolios or personal websites. These provide additional context around your work and experience.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion information

This optional section allows you to share any information that may help create a better hiring experience. We use this data to support inclusive hiring practices and improve representation across industries.

Why this matters

Archer does not match you based on isolated keywords. He looks at your experience in context, along with your preferences and employer requirements.

The clearer your profile, the stronger the alignment. Stronger alignment means more relevant roles in your Apply tab and more accurate interview requests in your Requests tab.

Taking a few extra minutes to complete your profile properly can significantly improve the quality of the opportunities you see.
