Profile visibility

Three levels of discoverability, what each one actually changes, and the thing none of them do.

View as .md

If nobody can find you, or you want to be less findable, this is the setting. Discovery visibility controls how people find you on Revquix. Three settings:

SettingWhat it means
DiscoverableYou appear in search and browse - by skill, by company, by name. The default.
Findable by name onlyYou do not appear when anyone browses or filters. Someone searching your exact name or username still finds you.
HiddenYou appear in no search at all. Your profile still works for anyone you send the link to.

What it changes, and what it does not#

That distinction is the whole point of this page. Even Hidden sounds like privacy and is not - it takes you out of every search, and leaves the page itself exactly as open as it was. It is a discovery preference, not a lock.

If you want to control what a visitor sees on the page, that is section toggles - see ordering your profile. If you want to know what is exposed at all, see what is public.

Choosing#

Discoverable if you want anything from the platform - mentoring, being contacted, being found for work. Turning discovery down while hoping to be found is the commonest self-inflicted problem here.

Findable by name while job-hunting quietly. People you have told can find you; browsing does not surface you.

Hidden when you want the profile to exist as a link you hand out and nothing more. Note what this one costs: nobody reaches you by searching your own name either, so a recruiter you have not personally sent the link to has no way to arrive.

If you mentor#
