All active profiles on our site require professional AWS experience. Our screening call is to ensure that new Nerds have actual AWS product experience before allowing them to sell their services on our platform.
No sweat! Even if you don’t have the AWS experience required, we have a long background of placing all types of IT professionals and would be happy to support your job search outside of our software.
All Nerds are required to have professional AWS experience. Our screening call will probe the types of projects you have worked on, the technology used, and problems you have solved to make sure that your experience checks out.
We don’t require any specific certifications, but they can improve your chances of finding work. You can add certifications by going to the Dashboard and clicking the “pencil” on your profile card or by clicking your avatar on the top right of the page and selecting profile. Add certifications right from there!
Before being activated, all new Nerds are required to complete a screening call with one of our recruiters.

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!

NerdHerders will be able to rate Nerds after any hourly engagement. Writing these ratings can be done from the Engagements page.
A Nerd’s ratings are available for viewing by NerdHerders. Nerds with higher ratings are more likely to be messaged by NerdHerders when the qualifications match.
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.
