Demystifying your profile status.
Your hackajob profile will go through different statuses as you use the platform. You can find the current status of your profile on the dashboard when you log in and in the top right-hand corner of most screens.
Below, we have explained the different types of profile status, which can explain why your profile is currently visible/not visible to employers:
Live
Please note that when your profile status is Live, employers have the expectation that you are actively looking for a new job, so we recommend responding to your requests within a 48-hour period, if possible.
If your profile status is currently Live, you will not be able to make changes to your salary expectations, work experience, or right to work. If you would like to make amendments to your profile, contact your Talent Success Manager, and they can make these changes for you.
Live period completed
Your profile status after you sign up will initially be set to Live, meaning employers will be able to see it and send you interview requests. After a while, it will be temporarily change to ‘Live Period Complete’. Your profile will remain at this status for 6 weeks, unless you choose to extend your Live period because you are still looking for a new job, or change your status to ‘Off the Market’. We do this to ensure employers contact you only when you are actively looking for a change.
When your profile is in "Live Period Complete", employers are not able to see it.
If you do nothing, your profile status will automatically change to ‘Off the Market’. We might ask you to re-confirm your details if your profile has been live for a long period of time.
Off the market
Stealth mode. This means your profile is currently invisible to employers, and this status will remain permanently until you tell us you are back on the market. Don’t worry though, you can still access our media content, coding challenges, and upload your past coding projects.
Back on the market
If your profile is stuck in the Back on the market status, make sure you finish completing the pop up to update your profile so it goes Live. If you are not looking for a role anymore, you can always set it as Off the market and it won't be visible to any of the employers using the platform.
