Now that we have photo and video support for webJobs, it’s time to put them somewhere, right? That’s where job seeker profiles come in. Profiles have been added in webJobs 3.2 which allow each of your job seekers to have a custom profile URL like http://www.yoursite.com/person/username.
What does it look like?
In addition to showing photos and videos in the profile, their profile information during signup is available to employers. Educational history, work history, desired employment, and resumes are all shown on the profile page.
It’ll look something like this:

What about privacy?
We realize that privacy is a huge concern for you. Not all job seekers want their name plastered all over the Internet, letting their current employer know they’re on there market. That’s why we implemented privacy settings.
Job seekers can choose to hide their:
- Real names
- Photos
- Videos
- Locations
Why is this feature good for me?
It’s good for you, your employers, and your job seekers. It makes everyone happy and helps you add more value to your web site.
It helps you
Job seekers can setup a great looking profile that they can link to. As we’ve covered before, more links means better rankings in the search engines, which means more traffic and revenues for you!
It helps your employers
This is also a great feature for employers. Employers can now see a basic overview of the job seekers, a video introduction, and what they look like. It’s a more personal way to connect with job seekers and a quick way to see if they’re the right fit.
It helps your job seekers
A unique profile highlighting their strengths with a video introduction will really help job seekers sell themselves. By being able to present their pitch three different ways: through the profile information, video resume, and actual resume, your job seekers have three unique and different ways to grab an employers attention and get that job.

Very good feature. There could be lot of additions on this page :
1. Adding Recommendations
2. Rate the profile
3. Profile comment
4. Save the profile
5. Share this profile
6. Contact profile
Am not sure if you have already added some of these. But going forward very important feature.
@sidhartha, i dont agree with all the additions you suggested. Rate , Share & Contact features are more suited for social network sites and not jobsites.
What about the ability to hide resumes?
