For executives
A senior job is easy to identify from a company name and a city. The profile does not need either.Use a username that is not the name on the company site. Do not use the headshot, a conference lanyard, or a photo with the logo behind you. "I have a senior job and I would rather keep it off here" is enough.
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.
Meet away from the office and away from the bar the team already uses. The site is free, so there is no charge on a statement to explain.
Frequently asked questions
Should I name the company?
No. A company name and a city are often enough for a colleague to know it is you. Leave the employer and the title as it appears on a staff page off the profile.
Can a client find me by searching my name?
Searching the web does not open the profile. A client who is a member and signed in might still recognise a face, which is why the photo should be one you have already accepted that risk for.
Do I pay for a more private account?
No. There is no paid tier. Joining is free and messaging is free.
