Managing Job Seeker Profiles

As a Job Board owner, it's important that you're able to handle any requests that come in from your Job Seekers to help manage their account. This guide will cover some of the more common tasks you may need to perform to address any concerns raised by your Job Seekers. Job Seekers will be able to perform most of these tasks on their own, but some users will need some additional help.

Searching and Accessing a Job Seeker Profile

If you want to make edits to a Job Seeker Profile, you'll need to find it first.

  1. Navigate to the Profiles section of your admin panel.
  2. In the Search profiles box, enter a term to help you locate the employer. Company Name or E-mail Address should do the trick. For an E-mail search, we recommend only using the first half of the e-mail address, excluding @domain.com.
  3. If you have a matching job seeker, the desired profile should now appear first in the list. If there are job seekers with similar profiles, you may need to look through the list to find the profile in question.
  4. Click the Profile Picture or Name to open the account.

Approving Job Seeker Profiles

If you require approval for your Job Seeker Profiles, it will be very important that you know how to approve profiles. There are a couple of ways that Profiles can be approved.

Mass Approve Profiles

  1. Navigate to the Profiles section of your Admin panel.
  2. Identify the Profiles you'd like to approve, and check the box next to each one. You can select the full page by clicking the box at the top of the list.

  1. Follow the steps above to access the Job Seeker Profile.
