Purpose

This article explains the purpose of the Profile Completeness Widget, its relationship to profile activation, and how to use the widget to complete your profile.

If you’ve already set up Career Hub and completed your profile, learn how to keep it up-to-date with our Profile Assistant documentation.

Audience

This article is intended for employees with Career Hub and the Profile Completeness Widget enabled in their Eightfold environment.

Background

The Profile Completeness Widget works in conjunction with Career Hub profile activation to help you set up your profile and complete critical tasks. If you miss a step during your initial profile activation, the widget will show you what needs to be done to complete your profile.

Eightfold features such as Profile Completeness, ingest data into your profile when you take certain actions, like connecting your LinkedIn account, uploading your resume, or entering profile items manually. For the best data results, we recommend connecting your LinkedIn account to your Career Hub profile.

Action cards

The Profile Completeness Widget uses action cards and a staged completion process to guide you to profile completion. Action cards are located at the top of your profile page and are labeled as follows:

• Card 1: Get started (Set up your Profile Assistant)
• Card 2: Upload resume
• Card 3: Add work experience
• Card 4: Add education
• Card 5: Add skills
• Card 6: Add goals

Your list of action cards may differ depending on where you are in the profile completion process.

Completing your profile

If you have missing critical tasks, like uploading your resume, you’ll see the Profile Completeness Widget at the top of your profile page. Nothing is required from you to have this feature enabled in your Career Hub environment. If you don’t see the widget on your profile page, it's likely that your profile is already complete.

Profile completeness is different from profile activation. Profile activation timestamp (profile_activated_ts) refers to the time when a user logs into the Careerhub for the first time. In contrast, profile completeness is a measure of how much data is filled in the profile.

To complete your profile with the widget, navigate to your Career Hub profile, and select any action card at the top of your profile page. A pop-up window will appear with instructions associated with the card you selected.

You can complete all of the cards at once, or you can complete individual cards, in any order, as you have time. The following steps explain how to complete cards individually.

1. When starting with card one, select Get started to set up Profile Assistant.

2. Select Upload resume on the second card to upload your resume. By uploading your resume you may also be completing the next steps of adding work experience and education.

Your LinkedIn profile and resume are both recommended to build a solid profile.

3. To proceed without uploading your resume (or to add additional work experience and education) select Add jobs on card three and Add education on card four.

4. To add skills and goals to your profile, select Add skills on card five and Add goals on card six.

When you’ve completed all of the steps in the widget, you’ll receive a congratulatory message.

Updating your profile

Permanent profile freshness cards will appear on the right side of your profile page after you complete the first two action cards. The permanent profile freshness cards are Update resume and Update settings.

The Update resume card allows you to upload and manage multiple resumes at any time. The Update settings card lets you manage your Profile Assistant settings, such as your LinkedIn URL, HRIS integration, and resume syncs.
