Onboarding
After creating your account, you'll be shown an onboarding form. In this form, you'll be asked to upload your resume and fill other basic details, including the languages you know, to complete your profile.
Completing the onboarding flow is optional, you can skip it by clicking on the "Skip Onboarding" button on the top right. You can then fill in this information later.
However, please note that the more complete your profile, the higher the chances you will be selected for a project. Empty profiles are almost never selected for projects.
Onboarding steps
Ensure you enter real information about yourself.
Entering intentionally misleading or fraudulent information will result in immediate and permanent termination.
Resume upload
Drag and drop, or click to open the file picker and upload your resume/CV.
Scholars will fill in your profile for you automatically based on the contents of your resume. You'll have a chance to review your profile in the next step.
If Scholars cannot read the resume, try another PDF with readable, selectable text. If you prefer to continue without a resume, click "I don't want to upload my resume" and enter your education and work information manually later.
Fill in basic identity information
Enter your name, surname, email, country, and cellphone number. All of these fields are mandatory.
If you have uploaded a resume, these fields may be filled in for you already.
Scholars may automatically clean up the capitalization of your name and surname after you leave each field or continue to the next step.
Only supported countries can be selected. If your country is not available, Scholars cannot currently support onboarding from that country.
Click on "→ Next" to proceed.
Add your languages
Select at least one language you know and choose a starting proficiency level for that language. Scholars applies that level to Listening, Speaking, Writing, and Reading. You can then adjust each of the four levels individually.
You can add more languages by clicking "+ Add language." Each language can only be selected once, and every language row must include a language and all four proficiency levels before you continue.
Click on "→ Next" to proceed.
Enter your work experience
If you have uploaded a resume, this section will have been filled in for you.
Otherwise, please enter your work experience, one position / role at a time.
Fill in a position by entering the company, role, start and end years, country, and city, then a description. Then, click on "+ Add work experience" to add as many other positions as necessary.
If you have no work experience, click on the trash can next to Experience 1 and click on Next.
Click on "→ Next" to proceed.
Verify your identity
At this point, your profile has been created. However, we strongly recommend you also complete the identity verification step.
Click on "Continue to verification" to verify your identity. This helps us make sure it's really you, and it will unlock project opportunities.
You may skip verification for now by clicking on "I don't want to verify my information". You'll be able to do it at a later time.
Scholars without a verified identity are unlikely to be selected for projects.
