Before being activated, all new Nerds are required to complete a screening call with one of our recruiters. If your account is “under review,” that means you created your account, but haven’t completed your screening call yet. If you haven’t heard from a recruiter 48 hours after registering, please contact us at support@nerdrabbit.com and we’d be glad to help!

Nerds will be rated on Flexibility/Adaptability, Work Ethic, Communication, Problem Solving, and Overall Experience. Overall Experience is the only rating that will affect a Nerd's average rating.
Stars are how our app measures quality. Performance is measured on a scale of 1-5 stars in our rating system.
NerdHerders are able to rate Nerds as soon as they’ve ended their engagement. This is optional, so if your NerdHerder hasn’t rated you, please reach out to request that.

On NerdRabbit, we want to do our best to promote unbiased hiring. One way we're doing that is by maintaining a certain level of anonymity in the search results, so that connections are being made strictly on skillset.
As a method of reducing hiring bias, one of our main features is maintaining a degree of anonymity for our job-searching Nerds. We want your skillset to speak for itself! For now, we’ve given you the ability to select a few different versions of an avatar to add some style to your profile.
We strive to reduce hiring bias with our software and maintaining a certain degree of anonymity is one of the measures that makes this possible. Your profile will not show your name or picture so that your AWS background can speak for itself. In lieu of a picture, we have given you the ability to create your own personalized avatar! This customizable rabbit will be what is shown to your prospective employees when they view your profile.
Your bio is an opportunity to tell NerdHerders a little bit about yourself and the type of work you’re seeking. Good information to include would be the types of positions you’ve held, the types of AWS technology you have experience with, the types of projects you’ve worked on, and the types of projects you would like to find.
Keywords are a way for Nerds to ensure they’re showing up in any and every search that is relevant to their skillset. Many Nerds choose to describe their project history on their bio while listing their technology stack in the Keywords section.
For the Job Title section, we advise that you list your most recent title.
The Skills filter is an opportunity to show your specialized expertise. Nerds are allowed to choose up to 5 skills, so it’s important you choose the categories that best represent your background.
