Candidate profile management in Workforce Exchange
Purpose
Lets job seekers build and maintain a complete profile that drives matching across the exchange.
Overview
Your profile is the record the exchange uses to match you to jobs. It holds your contact details, resume, work experience, education, skills, and job preferences. You build it once during signup and update it whenever your situation changes.
Why it matters
- A complete profile helps the exchange match you to roles that fit your background.
- You control your information and can edit any section at any time.
- Uploading a resume saves time because the system fills in experience, education, and skills for you.
How it works
- Sign up and start the profile questionnaire.
- Upload a resume so the system can pre-fill your experience, education, and skills.
- Review and edit the pre-filled details and add anything missing.
- Set your job preferences, such as preferred roles, locations, and availability.
- Submit the profile. You can return at any time to add a new role, refresh your skills, or upload a new resume.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to upload a resume?
No, if you do not wish to upload a resume, or do not have a resume, you may also update your profile manually. The platform is also available without updating any information, but we recommend you will out your information so the system can find the best job matches for you
Can I keep more than one resume on my profile?
Yes. You can upload a new resume without removing the previous one. The most recent upload is used for matching.
Who can see my profile?
Hiring companies on the exchange see your profile when matching returns you for a role. Specific visibility settings are available. As a jobseeker, you can select whether or not you would like hiring companies to view your profile in your preferences. Turning this off will still allow you to apply to jobs, but you won’t show up as recommended on their side. Additionally, if you are working with a state staff member/workforce development specialist, they may access your profile to help guide you improve your profile and recommend opportunities.
