My Jobseeker Profile


To go into our candidate database and allow recruiters to find you for their jobs, you need to complete a Jobseeker Profile. Click on the 'View my profile' button in the My Jobseeker Profile section. The purpose of this questionnaire is to create a file of information on you, that you control, and that recruiters can search. Once you have completed the form, you can decide how much of this information you want recruiters to be able to view. With the Jobseeker Profile privacy options at the bottom of the page you can do the following:
  • If you want recruiters to be able to see ALL of the information in your Jobseeker Profile, including your Personal details and CV, work experience information and new job requirements you can do so by selecting the first radio button.
  • If you want recruiters to be able to see your work experience information and new job requirements but NOT your personal details or your CV you can do so by selecting the middle radio button. (This option is not available on the jobseeker profile form that is shown after you apply for a job)
  • If you do not want recruiters to be able to view any of your Jobseeker Profile information you can do so by selecting the last radio button.
