Enhancing Your NexJob Profile
Let the best jobs find you!

Employers use NexJob to find new talent. Enhancing your profile is free and has no strings attached. Adding detailed information makes you more discoverable and sets out your requirements, such as salary expectations and travel preferences. It also gives you an edge in the job hunting process. Remember, you can control which employers can view your profile, allowing you to block those you prefer not to share your details with. By leveraging these resources and tips, you'll be well on your way to mastering the art and science of job hunting with NexJob.

The wonderful NexJob App
Our job is your next job

NexJob uses a technique called talent mining to help great employers to find you. The more enhanced your profile is, the better your chances of finding a job that matches your expectations.

You can enhance your profile either through the app (available to download from all popular app stores — free) or online by clicking 'Login' — top right.

Enhanced profiling is entirely optional and there are lots of sections you can use. Think of it as you own personal CV — and then some! Here you can list what you're really looking for in a job — how far you're prepared to travel, how much you'd like to earn, benefits and more!

The amazing NexJob website
A job hunter's best friend!

Enhancing your profile on desktop is just as easy as the app. Click 'Login' (top right), go to my details and then complete your profile. Simple.

You can update this at any time, perfect it, add to it — it's designed, like everything else we do — to make the candidate stand out.
