Why am I asked to complete my profile before I can apply?
A few details are needed once, so employers receive a usable application.
Last updated July 31, 2026Your application goes straight to the hiring contact, so it has to arrive with enough for them to act on. If a few essentials are missing from your profile, we ask for them before the first application rather than sending something incomplete on your behalf.
Open the Profile tab in your account and it shows you what is outstanding. It is usually your CV and a couple of contact details.
You only do this once. Once your profile is complete, applying is a single click from any listing, and the role you were looking at when you were interrupted is still there when you go back.
