From the beginning of September, publishing a job applicant profile will be part of the job search process. As a rule, new jobseekers have 15 working days to fill in and publish their profile after starting their job search.
If you fail to publish your job applicant profile within the deadline, an employment official will enter the minimum information in the profile and publish the profile on your behalf. However, you can supplement and update your profile at any time, even after the employment official has published it.
If your job search has started before 1 September, the obligations related to the job applicant profile will enter into force when you next use the employment services.
The requirement to publish a job applicant profile may be waived if the employment official assesses that publishing the profile is not necessary or appropriate in the applicant’s situation.
Job applicant profile helps you make your competence visible
The job applicant profile is not just a new obligation, but also an opportunity for you to make your competence visible to employers.
Employers can use job applicant profiles to find skilled workers for open jobs. The more diversely and accurately you describe your competence, experience and interests, the more likely it is that you come to an employer’s attention at the right time.
The job applicant profile also makes it possible for employers to find you for hidden jobs, i.e. tasks that may never be published for open application.
Support for creating a profile
From now on, the expert responsible for your employment services can view the information in your job applicant profile.
In service encounters, you can discuss the content of your profile together and find ways for you to describe your competence in a way that makes it as attractive to employers as possible. If necessary, you can get help with completing and improving your profile.
The job applicant profile aims to make it easier for employers and skilled workers to connect and to improve jobseekers’ chances of being found by employers.
