FAQ

Overview
Talent by Blind connects top tech talent looking for new job opportunities with innovative companies. We try to make the job search process as seamless as possible. Candidates create a profile and sit back until the interview requests roll in from companies.

Quick and easy profile submission
We know how tedious re-entering your resume information can be. Once you provide your job preferences and LinkedIn profile and resume, we'll handle the rest, so you don't have to. We'll complete the rest of your Talent profile with your work experience and education information.

A curated platform
Once your profile is good to go, we'll start sharing it with companies and promote your profile to potential matches to consider interviewing you.

Job offers come to you
Unlike other job platforms, companies on Talent apply to you. You won't be applying to jobs on Talent. Once your profile is approved, we'll promote it to companies for up to 12 weeks. When a company is interested, they'll send you an interview request for their position.

Attracting interviews
Maintaining an up-to-date and detailed profile is crucial to attracting interview requests. Your profile is your best opportunity to showcase your strengths and desires. The more complete your profile, the more jobs you'll match, and the higher the possibility for interview requests.

No. To speed up the matching process, you will not be anonymous on Talent by Blind.Companies will be able to view your name, photo, LinkedIn profile, resume, job preferences, experience and education. Only after you accept an interview request will your email and phone number (if provided) become visible.

Absolutely not. Although Talent by Blind and Blind are owned by the same company, they are two separate services.

Our clients range from stealth startups to enterprise companies that are actively hiring for open tech positions. Additionally, we value our clients' privacy the same way we value yours. To learn more about the companies on Talent and positions they are hiring for, complete your Talent profile, and companies will send an interview request if you're a fit. We are constantly adding more companies to Talent to provide you with a wider range of opportunities.

Talent by Blind is completely free of cost for our candidates. Talent is paid for by companies looking for top tech talent such as yourself.

We highly recommend using your personal email address because you'll receive interview requests at the email associated with your Talent account. If you have already signed up for Talent using your work email, you can always change the email on your account. You can change your email from the "Contact Info" menu, located underneath your profile photo.

Your security is important to us. Verifying your email address lets us know that you truly own your email address and can receive interview requests from companies.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a specific timeline. Various companies are searching for qualified candidates on Talent, and every one of them has different recruiting processes and internal timelines. Although the time it takes for companies to send an interview request to candidates varies, we are working on ways to speed up this process by quickly matching you with the perfect companies and roles.

This is what happens once you submit your profile:

1) We'll review all the information you've submitted and complete the rest of your Talent by Blind profile with the LinkedIn profile and resume you provide us. Your profile will then go live (become visible to companies).

2) If a company is interested in your profile, they'll request an interview. We'll send you an email with the company's message and job description.

3) Once you accept an interview request, you are matched with a company. They will reach out to you directly to move forward with an interview.

This is entirely up to you. Your name and LinkedIn URL will be visible on your Talent by Blind profile by default, and your email and phone number will only become visible to companies after you accept their interview request. Whether or not you choose to remove your contact information from your resume, companies can email or call you only if you accept their interview request.

We're currently experiencing a large volume of profile submissions from candidates. It may take some time for us to complete the rest of your profile and start promoting it to companies. We're doing our best to get your profile up and running as soon as possible. Once your profile goes live and becomes visible to companies, we'll notify you through your email. Stay tuned!

We don't recommend it. Having multiple Talent profiles may confuse companies and result in duplicate or fewer interview requests. If you already have multiple profiles, please contact us at support@talentbyblind.com and our team will help merge your profiles.

You can upload your resume under the LinkedIn/Resume section of your profile. We encourage you to upload your resume within a week of creating your Talent profile to be included in the high-priority review group. This means that your profile will be reviewed and approved faster to be promoted to companies.

Yes. You can update any part of your profile at any time. If you are chatting with a company, however, we do recommend you wait to update some parts of your profile to prevent confusion or miscommunication.

You can change your email from the "Contact Info" menu, located underneath your profile photo. Currently, you can only change your email if you signed up with email. If you signed up with Google, you cannot change your email at this time.

When logged out, click on the "Log In" button, then "Forgot password?" from the login screen.

There can be a few reasons why your profile did not go live.

- Talent currently has a presence in the US and Canada. It is unlikely your profile will go live if you are located elsewhere as our companies show little interest.
- Our companies prefer candidates will full-time experience. If you are currently a student or intern, your profile will not go live. That said, try resubmitting your profile once you have full-time experience to showcase.

If your profile does not have enough information, we will let you know which part(s) need editing. You can then resubmit your profile for review.

Profiles on Talent are visible to companies for 12 weeks. After this period, your profile switches back to private unless you indicate you want to stay live for longer. We will send you two emails before the 12 week period ends (D-2 weeks and D-1 day) to give you the option of extending profile visibility.

To pause your profile and stop receiving new interview requests, go to "My Profile" and select the "Pause Profile" button towards the top of the page. To unpause your profile, you can select the "Unpause Profile" button towards the top of your profile page.

Profiles on Talent are visible to companies for 12 weeks. After this period, your profile switches back to private unless you indicate you want to stay live for longer.
