Visibility of my profile – Malt

What are the criteria to be visible?
For your profile to be visible in search results, you must meet certain criteria.

Your profile must be completed with:

Profile picture
A title
4 skills
Business category
1 Business experience
Experience Level
Language
Daily rate
Location and preferences
You must have indicated that you are available. If your profile is “unavailable”, you no longer appear in search results. To appear again, edit your availability on your profile page.
Have answered all customer requests: You must not have an unanswered project proposal in the messaging system to appear in the search results. If a customer reaches out to you in voicemail, we ask that you respond in the conversation associated with the customer by sending a message or quote, or decline the offer before appearing again.
Have a minimum score of 3.75/5
Have logged in within the last three months

Profiles in the Malt Strategy category will never be visible in the search engine, so customers won't be able to contact you directly.
Proposals are always carefully reviewed by our recruitment team, who will contact you to check your interest and availability for a project. To ensure you receive the best opportunities, please keep your profile and availability up to date.

How do I make myself visible at the end of the project?
If you’re finishing a project but still unavailable, you can remain visible in the search results. During the 30 days before your indicated availability date, you’ll appear in searches and clients can contact you to plan for your return. This availability date will be clearly shown on your profile.

Once the project ends, simply update your profile by confirming your availability and specifying whether you’re available full-time or part-time.

Can I receive offers if my profile is invisible from search results?
You can be contacted and receive new job offers even if your profile is invisible but in reduced numbers. To maximize your chances of finding a job quickly, we recommend that you keep your profile visible.

By being invisible, you can receive our project opportunities because we anticipate your return to activity.

Thanks to a matching algorithm specially designed by our data scientists, if one or more of these opportunities match your profile and your project preferences, you are notified directly and you can find them in your mailbox.

Also, customers who have already worked with you, who have already contacted you or added your profile to their list of favorites always have direct access to your profile via their messaging service.

Finally, you can always share the URL of your Malt profile on your personal website, your GitHub account, Facebook, X, or LinkedIn. It's a good way to find new leads.

Malt Strategy profiles will never be visible in search engines, as this is a category that is not open to direct searches on the Malt Marketplace.

I live on the border, can I be visible in both countries?
If you live on the border and want to work with clients from both countries, it is possible!

When the customer makes a search by adding a location, he will have the results of his country of origin but also on a radius of 50 kms around.

So, for example, if you live in Strasbourg, your profile will be visible to French people but also to German border residents.

For experts in the Malt Strategy category, this point is irrelevant, as their profiles are not visible in the search engine.

Visibility of your personal information

I don't want my last name to be visible, is that possible?

Your last name is visible on your Malt profile, but if you do not want it to appear on your profile for reasons that belong to you, you must go to the "edit my profile" tab and click on the field your first and last name.

You can then choose to display only the first letter of your last name.

Is the personal information in my profile visible to everyone?

Adding your phone number increases your chances of being contacted for new projects. Your contact details are strictly confidential and used only by the Malt team to match you with tailored opportunities.
The administrative information you provide is used solely to generate quotes and invoices on our platform and is never shared or used otherwise.

The legal documents (except the identity document) provided will still be downloadable by the client with whom you do your projects, but only when the quote has been validated.

Project preferences
The project preferences are there to allow you to proclaim loud and clear the projects that interest you. We take care of making them visible to customers so that you can receive proposals that best meet your criteria:

Travel: Are you flexible and agree to go on assignments with the client, or are you remote exclusively? You can also indicate that you only do part of the project with the client. The 0 movement is the only preference that cannot be deleted, it must be filled in.
Activity zone: If you are between two different cities, and you are often on the move, you have the possibility of indicating up to 4 activity zones in addition to the main location of your Profile.
Skills: Select those on which you would particularly like to be solicited for projects (50 max).
Project duration: Choose the project durations that interest you in particular or those that you would prefer not to be offered.
Sector of activity: Use this criterion to define the sectors of activity that make you dream or those that you want to avoid.
Company size: Choose the company size you want to work in. However, the size of the company does not always accurately reflect the context in which you will be working. There can be very agile teams within large groups.

If a client includes a location in their search and you have added that location or a nearby area in your Business Zone preferences, your profile will appear in the search results. This functions the same way as your primary location.

How do I set my project preferences?
On the Project Project Preferences Management, you can click the “Define…” button next to each criterion to set your preferences.
