Complete your profile
Completing your profile is the best way to stand out and increase your chances to be selected for projects. Learn how to do so here.
Your profile on Scholars will be visible to our project managers, select teams, and select clients. When selecting people for work on projects, we will read what you have entered in your profile and make a decision accordingly.
Thus, to improve your chances of being selected for projects, the best way is to completely fill your profile with as much relevant information as possible.
If your profile is still incomplete after signup, Scholars may send reminder emails with a link back to your profile.
How do I complete my profile?
Complete your Resume page
Navigate to https://app.scholars.net/talent/profile, and then to the Resume tab. Ensure you have uploaded a profile picture and that all information is filled in. When you're done, click on Save changes at the top.
Review your skills and languages
From the same page, go to the Skills & Languages tab.
Add the skills and languages that describe the work you can do. For each language, choose a starting proficiency level, then adjust your Listening, Speaking, Writing, and Reading levels individually when they differ.
The available levels include CEFR levels A1 through C2 and Native. Native is separate from C2: use Native when you are a native speaker of the language, and use C2 for the highest CEFR proficiency level.
You can select up to 10 skills during profile completion. If you reach the limit, remove a selected skill before adding another one.
Some skills or languages may already be marked as vetted. Vetted items cannot be removed or changed from your profile, because they were verified through an assessment or by the Scholars team.
Click on Save changes when you're done.
Enter your availability
By default, we assume you are never available, so it's important to mark yourself as available whenever you can work.
From the same page, go now to the Availability tab and set your availability. Click on Save changes when you're done.
If you can start right away, choose Immediately as your earliest start. Once you have added your earliest start, weekly commitment, timezone, and working hours, Scholars treats your availability as complete.
Set up your communication preferences
From the same page, go to the Communications tab and set your communication preferences there.
The Email checkbox controls optional automated Scholars emails. Clear it and save your changes to stop those system notifications. Custom emails sent by managers and essential workspace account messages can still arrive. You can also use the unsubscribe link in an automated Scholars email to open this tab.
Review your account details
From the same page, go to the Account tab to see whether you have a workspace account. If a workspace account has been created for you, this tab shows the email address and lets you reset its password.
The Privacy and account deletion section explains how to exercise your privacy rights. To request access to your personal data, correct it, or request deletion where applicable, email the iMerit Data Protection Officer at dpo@imerit.net.
For more detail, see Use your workspace account.
