Unpublished profile

You can publish or unpublish your entire profile at any time.

When you first sign up, your profile is unpublished by default and you don't even have a profile handle. Nobody can access your data and you don't appear in recruiters' search results.

When you set a profile handle and publish your profile, the visibility of each individual section can be controlled through your privacy settings. If you unpublish your profile with a profile handle set, requests to your profile URL will return a 404, just as if your profile did not exist.

A profile that returns a 404 will not be visible in recruiters' search results.

Individual section visibility

You can show or hide individual sections on your published profile.

You've got full control over which sections of your public profile are visible to the public, with separate settings to control which sections are visible to logged-in recruiters.

You can keep sections hidden on your public profile while you're still drafting content and only publish them when you're happy, and you can keep whole sections invisible if you have no content for them.

Even with a published profile, data from sections you've set as hidden will not appear in recruiters' search results.

Keep sensitive information from public view

Particularly sensitive information like your full name, profile photo and full work history can be hidden from users who aren't logged in to a DevCapital recruiter account.

This means that only recruiters logged in to their account can see this information on your public profile.

For the sensitive data items, you can manage your privacy controls to apply different settings for unauthenticated (public views, not logged in, bots and scrapers, etc), and recruiters who are logged in:

Data not shown at all, irrespective of that section's visibility

Data shown in an abridged form to the public and shown in full to logged-in recruiters

Data shown in full to everyone
