The 6 Profile Workspaces

1. About Tab

Manage your personal identifier settings, picture assets, and visibility parameters.

Step-by-Step Workspace Workflow
  1. Navigate to the Profile → About tab in your settings workspace.
  2. Avatar Customization: Click on your profile photo avatar to open the cropper modal. Adjust the magnification slider (zoom range: 1.0x to 3.0x) to frame your face. Click Save Crop to check formats (only PNG/JPG are accepted) and file size constraints (under 5MB).
  3. Personal Details: Edit your display name, professional headline tagline (e.g., "Full Stack Developer"), primary phone number, and location (City).
  4. Recruiter Visibility Index: Toggle the visibility button. Activating the toggle includes your candidate profile in search lists indexed by corporate recruiters. Deactivating it hides your details from external search.

2. Career Tab

Step-by-Step Workspace Workflow

  3. Work Experience: Click Add Experience. Input the company name, job role, dates, description, and your supervisor's corporate email address. Click Save.
  4. Supervisor Verification Link: Locate the new card (in UNVERIFIED state) and click Send Verification. The server sends a verification email with a tokenized link to the supervisor.

  • Token Validity: The verification link is valid for exactly 7 days. If expired, the supervisor will see an error screen, and the candidate must click Resend Verification to generate a new token.
  • Rejection Safety Check: If the supervisor clicks "Reject", they must manually type the case-sensitive confirmation word "reject" in a verification prompt to complete the rejection, preventing accidental declines.
  • Spam Folder Warning: If the supervisor does not receive the email, ask them to check their spam/junk folder.

Experience Verification Methods

1. Supervisor Approval Email

Adds a work experience (internship/job) and dispatches a verification request directly to your supervisor's email:

  • Supervisor View: Clicking the link shows your role details with "Verify" and "Reject" buttons.
  • Rejection Check: To prevent errors, supervisors must type the exact word "reject" into a text field to decline.
  • Link Expiry: Links expire in 7 days. Expired links show a warning screen. Use "Resend Verification" to generate a fresh link.
  • Spam check: Ask your supervisor to check their spam folder if the email is delayed.

2. Proctored Vetting Exam

Verify experiences independently without emailing a supervisor by completing a proctored vetting exam:

  • Launch: Click the **Assess** button on your experience or project card.
  • Setup: Calibrate your camera/mic and grant fullscreen/screen sharing permissions.
  • Structure: Complete the MCQ and code workspace questions within the countdown timer limits.
  • Outcome: Passing verifies the experience instantly (marked as VERIFIED ✓), bypassing supervisor approval.

Experience Verification Workflow

Follow these steps to verify your career history:

1 Go to **Profile → Career**, click **Add Experience**, and enter the details along with your supervisor's email.
2 Click **Send Verification** on the card to dispatch the secure token email.
3 If supervisor verification is unavailable, click **Assess** on the card to launch the proctored vetting exam instead.
4 Verify that the card updates to green VERIFIED ✓ once approved or passed.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

Q: My supervisor hasn't received the verification email.

A: Verify the spelling on your experience card. Ask them to check spam. You can click "Resend Verification" to generate a fresh email link.

Q: Can I edit an experience after it has been verified?

A: Editing a verified card resets its status to UNVERIFIED because the details have changed. You must request verification again for the updated details.

Q: My supervisor rejected my request by mistake. What should I do?

A: Open the experience card, review the details for accuracy, save it, and click "Send Verification" again to dispatch a new request.

Q: Why did my certificate image upload fail?

A: Highrr only accepts certificate files in PNG or JPG format, and the size must be under 5MB. PDFs are not supported directly; you can upload a cropped screenshot of the certificate instead.

Q: Connecting GitHub displays a loading error or zero metrics.

A: Ensure you input your exact public GitHub username (not your name or URL). Private contributions and repositories are not imported.

Q: How many supervisor-verified experiences can I list on my profile?

A: You can list up to **5 verified experiences** on free student accounts. Upgrading to Highrr Pro removes this limit.

Q: What happens if a vetting exam fails for a work experience verification?

A: If you fail, the experience card remains `UNVERIFIED`. You can re-attempt the vetting assessment after a **7-day cooldown period** or request supervisor email approval instead.

Q: How does the profile parser process my uploaded resume?

A: The AI parser reads your PDF and populates your profile fields (academics, experience, skills) automatically. Check all fields after parsing to correct any text translation errors.
