What is the Talent Profile?
The Talent Profile is an optional professional profile that makes you visible to recruiters on the [Frontend Mentor Hiring Platform](https://hiring.frontendmentor.io/). It's designed to help developers showcase their skills and connect with potential employers.

A separate professional profile
Your Talent Profile is distinct from your regular Frontend Mentor profile. While your main profile tracks your learning journey and community contributions, the Talent Profile is specifically designed for job seeking. It presents your professional background in a format that recruiters can easily browse and evaluate.
What it showcases
Your Talent Profile brings together several key elements that matter to employers:
- Your best project work from Frontend Mentor challenges
- Professional experience and work history
- Education background
- Work preferences including availability and location
- A professional bio highlighting your strengths
Who can see your profile
When you activate your Talent Profile, it becomes visible to recruiters and employers using the Frontend Mentor Hiring Platform. These companies are specifically looking to hire frontend and full-stack developers and browse Talent Profiles to find candidates who meet their requirements.
Important expectations
The Talent Profile is a tool to increase your visibility to potential employers, but it's not a guarantee of employment. Keep these points in mind:
- Having a profile doesn't mean you'll automatically receive job offers
- Response rates depend on many factors including market conditions and your experience level
- Continue using traditional job search methods alongside your Talent Profile
- The platform works best as one part of a broader job search strategy
Who should use it
The Talent Profile is particularly useful if you're:
- Actively looking for frontend or full-stack development work
- Open to hearing about new opportunities
- Wanting to be discovered by recruiters rather than applying to listings
- Looking to showcase your Frontend Mentor projects to employers
If you're not currently seeking work, you can leave your Talent Profile inactive and enable it when you're ready to explore opportunities.
