For a public job
Leave the workplace off the profile. A school, a hospital, a uniform, or a badge is how someone recognises you before you have decided they may.Say that you would rather not be recognised, and name the town you live in. The job title can wait until you trust someone. A photo in uniform, outside the building, or with a lanyard still on is the one to leave in the camera roll.
A web search does not open a profile. A member who is signed in sees a username, an age, a town, and the photos you chose. They do not see a surname, an address, or a workplace unless you typed those in.
There is no switch that hides the profile during work hours. You can pause it. Other members cannot find it or open it while it is paused, and you can still look. You can show it again when you are ready.
Frequently asked questions
Will my employer see my profile?
A web search for your name does not open it. A colleague who is a member and signed in can see the username, age, town, and photos you chose. That is why the employer, the building, and a uniform stay off the page.
Can I hide the profile during the working day?
There is no timer for work hours. Pause the profile when you want it hidden. Other members cannot find it while it is paused.
Is there a fee to keep a job off the profile?
No. Joining is free and messaging is free. There is no subscription and no credit card.
