Work preferences help the platform match you with the right jobs and let recruiters know what you are looking for.
Steps 1. Open Your Profile Editor
Navigate to Profile > Edit Profile and scroll to the Preferences section.
2. Set Your Availability Status
Choose one of the following:
- Available — You are actively looking for work
- Open to Opportunities — You are not actively searching but would consider the right role
- Not Available — You are not interested in new opportunities at this time
3. Set Salary Expectations
Enter your Desired Salary Min and Desired Salary Max to define your salary range. This helps filter out jobs below your expectations.
4. Set Location Preferences
- Open to Remote — Toggle on if you are willing to work remotely
- Open to Relocation — Toggle on if you are willing to relocate for a position
5. Save Your Changes
Click Save to update your preferences.
Tips
- Your availability status is visible to recruiters in search results. Keep it current — switching to "Not Available" stops most recruiter outreach.
- Salary expectations are only shared with recruiters once you are in an active application process. They are not shown publicly.
- Enabling both remote and relocation options significantly increases the number of jobs you match with.
