The dashboard#
The seeker dashboard is a single-page workspace. Every section is a tab, not a separate page load, so switching sections never re-initializes the map or drops a draft — and a tab you have visited stays warm behind the one you are on.
Discover is the map: live opportunities within a radius you control, with routes and distance. It leads because it is where a job hunt starts — someone opening a job-hunting product wants live opportunities, not a summary of last week.
Home summarises what is in flight. Applications tracks everything you applied to and where each one stands. Interviews is where proposals are accepted and calls are joined. Work holds engagements that came out of a hire. Messages, Saved, Prestige, Verification, Profile, and Settings do what their names say.
Your profile is the product#
Employers search, rank, and shortlist against your profile. The Career Profile Dashboard walks it in seven steps — identity, headline, skills, experience, education, preferences, and contact — and reports a completeness percentage as you go.
Two fields gate verification specifically: a public headline and a profile picture. Without both, the Verification tab will not start the flow and sends you to the profile first. A verified badge on an anonymous profile helps nobody.
You can connect GitHub to surface your public repositories on the profile, which matters for technical roles.
Applying#
Applying records a match score computed against that specific job, and an estimated commute derived from your location and the job's.
Both are real values or honestly absent. A profile surfaced through search with no job in context shows "not scored" rather than a number invented to fill the space.
How an application progresses#
Applied, then screening, then interview, then offer, then hired. An application can be rejected from any stage.
You see the same status the employer is working from, and the Applications tab is the one place it lives.
Being found#
Beyond applying, you can opt in to talent pool discovery, which allows hiring accounts on plans that include it to find your profile through search.
This is opt-in and reversible from your profile settings. It is separate from applying: opting out does not affect applications you have already made.
