Understanding What Information to Share on Search Talents
When applying for jobs, it can be not easy to know what information will help you stand out—and what’s better left out.
It’s important to be mindful of the kind of personal details you include in your application. Some types of information are considered sensitive and should only be shared if they are clearly requested, relevant to the role, or both.
What is sensitive information?
Sensitive information refers to personal details that, if misused or accessed without your permission, could lead to harm such as identity theft or financial loss. Examples include a passport number or a photo of your passport.
Even sharing part of this information can expose you to risks. It may also unintentionally introduce bias into the hiring process.
Search Talents encourages you to protect your personal data and only provide sensitive information when absolutely necessary and appropriate for the job.
Need to update your name or phone number on your Search Talent profile?
No problem — you can update your personal details anytime.
To update your name and/or phone number:
Sign in to your account from the Search Talent homepage
Click the Profile tab at the top of the page
Select Edit personal details (near the top)
Make your changes and click Save
If you come across a job ad on Search Talents that seems suspicious or potentially fraudulent, it’s important to report it right away so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Do not provide any personal or financial information to the advertiser.
Take a screenshot or note the job title and company name.
Click “Report this job” (usually found on the job ad page), or
Contact Search Talents support directly and include:
The job ad link (if available)
A brief description of your concerns
Any screenshots or evidence you have
Reporting suspicious ads helps protect all job seekers from scams, phishing, and identity theft. Search Talents reviews all reports and takes violations of our terms seriously.
If you’re ever unsure, trust your instincts—if something feels off, report it.
The information in your SearchTalents profile helps us match you with the most relevant job opportunities. These are shared through personalized emails and on-site recommendations tailored to your skills and experience.
We’ll also keep you updated with job market trends, profile suggestions, and insights into your career potential. Keeping your profile up to date increases your chances of being noticed by the right employers at the right time.
Tracking Your Job Applications on Search Talents
You can easily view the jobs you've applied for — and, where possible, see if an employer has viewed your application — by visiting the Applied Jobs page.
To check your applications:
Sign in to your Search Talents account
Click your name in the top right corner
Select Applied Jobs from the dropdown menu
Here, you'll find a list of jobs you've applied for in the past three months.
Note: If the employer directed you to complete the application on their own website, you won’t see your resume or cover letter in your Search Talent application summary — only the job ad will appear.
Does Search Talent have access to my application details?
Search Talent simply acts as a bridge between job seekers and employers. Once you submit your application, it goes directly to the employer. Search Talent doesn’t access or review applications and is not involved in the recruitment process.
If you want to follow up on your application, you’ll need to contact the employer directly.
