Setting Up Your Expert Profile
Your profile is how clients evaluate you. A complete, well-crafted profile significantly increases your chances of being selected.
Required Information
| Field | Description | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Your professional name | Use your real name as it appears on LinkedIn |
| Primary contact | Must be verified | |
| Phone | For urgent matters | Include country code |
| LinkedIn URL | Profile verification | Must be a valid LinkedIn profile |
| Experience | Years in your field | Be accurate — clients verify this |
| Skills | Areas of expertise | Be specific (e.g., "AWS Lambda" not just "Cloud") |

Profile Quality Tips

- Keep it current — Update after major projects or role changes

Visibility
Your profile becomes visible to clients only after ExpertBridge assigns you to a project. We prioritize your privacy.
What clients see:
- Profile summary
- AI Assessment (if completed)
- Availability status
- Expert ID
- Your name (only if you choose to display it)
Privacy-first approach:
Experts have full flexibility to maintain confidentiality during professional engagements. You can:
- Withhold your identity entirely
- Keep your name confidential
- Control what information is shared
No personally identifiable information is visible to clients unless you explicitly choose to share it.
