Profile Picture Requirements

Your profile picture is often the first thing potential employers see. It’s your digital first impression, and a clear, professional image helps build trust right away. A good photo signals that you take your work seriously — and that you’re someone they can engage with professionally.

What We Require

When you sign up and onboard as talent, we ask for a professional profile picture that clearly shows your face. To keep things simple and high quality, here are the key rules:

1. Only you in the photo – No other people should be visible. This is your personal profile, not a group shot.
2. Face must be clearly visible – From forehead to chin, your face should be unobstructed (no sunglasses, hats, heavy shadows, etc.).
3. Business casual or professional attire – Dress as you would for a job meeting or interview — clean, neat, and appropriate for a professional setting.
4. Neutral / appropriate background -A plain or softly blurred background helps focus attention on you, not what’s behind you.
5. Good lighting & clarity – Use natural or soft lighting, avoid harsh shadows, make sure the image isn’t pixelated or blurry.
6. No filters or heavy edits -You should look like yourself — avoid heavy photo effects, extreme color shifts, or unnatural retouching.

Tips for Taking a Great Profile Photo

• Choose a well-lit area (natural light is best).
• Have someone else take the photo if possible — avoid selfies.
• Stand a bit away from walls or backgrounds (to reduce harsh shadows).
• Keep your expression friendly and neutral (a slight smile works well).
• Wear solid or muted colors that contrast reasonably with the background.
• Use a high-resolution photo so it won’t degrade when resizing.

Why These Rules Are Important

• Employers want to see who they might hire. A clear, solo headshot helps confirm authenticity.
• A professional portrait reflects your seriousness about the work you do.
• Having a uniform standard helps maintain a clean, trustworthy platform.
