How to create a great candidate profile

Your candidate profile is by default private and only shown to companies when you accept a Vouch for a job listing. A complete and thoughtful profile will benefit your chances with prospective recruiters - going beyond the basics of LinkedIn or an uploaded resume help you stand among the crowd of candidates Vouched to a role.

Connecting your LinkedIn profile

The quickest way to fill out your candidate profile is to share your LinkedIn URL. You can also choose to create a profile and manually fill out whatever details you want the company to see.

Once you have copy and pasted your LinkedIn URL into Vouch, you can go straight to accepting the Vouch.

Adding your CV / resume

If you prefer, you can upload your resume as a PDF to your profile. To add your resume to your profile, click the "Upload CV" section, drag and drop (or browse for) the PDF file, and the file will be submitted. Please note, we only support PDF file formats here.

Questions to help you stand out

From our experience, the most important step to complete your profile is the set of additional candidate questions on the right hand side of the page. These are short questions that help highlight your accomplishments in the past or your goals for the future. This supplemental information consistently results in higher success rates.
