Frequently Asked Questions

How long does account approval take?

Recruiter and career services accounts are typically reviewed within 24-48 hours. Candidate accounts are active immediately but document verification may take longer.

How are recruiters verified?

Our team verifies recruiter accounts using multiple methods: (1) work email domain verification - we check that your email domain matches your company's website, (2) LinkedIn profile review to confirm your professional identity, and (3) firm affiliation verification to ensure you represent a legitimate finance organization. This multi-factor approach protects candidates from fraudulent outreach.

Why do I need to use my work email?

Using your work email (e.g., jane@goldmansachs.com) helps us verify your affiliation with your firm automatically. When your email domain matches the company website, it speeds up the approval process and adds an extra layer of trust to your profile.

Is my information secure?

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption and Row Level Security to protect your data. Only authorized users can see your information based on your privacy settings.

Can I control who sees my profile?

Yes. You can control visibility settings in your profile settings to determine what information different user types can see.

How do I get my GPA verified?

Upload your official transcript in your profile settings. An admin or your school's career services can verify your academic credentials.
