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.
The profile biography section is for you to tell Nerds more about who you are, what you do at your company, and what kinds of people you are looking to hire.
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.
Your profile can be edited directly from the dashboard by clicking the pencil icon. You can also edit your profile by clicking your avatar and selecting profile. There you will also see the pencil icon that allows you to edit the necessary information. Don't forget to save your changes.
NerdHerders can view a Nerd’s profile in their search results. Your resume and certification links will not be shared until you have accepted a chat request.
Your resume is made available to NerdHerders only after you accept their chat request. Your resume is kept internally at NerdRabbit for your recruiter as we try to help you find work.
NerdHerders can choose to filter the way they search for Nerds on the platform. Be sure to create a complete and thorough profile to give you the best opportunity to connect with NerdHerders and find a great (h)opportunity!

Your billing and payment options can be managed from your avatar on the top right. Click it and select billing to make any changes, connect a company/personal credit card, debit card, or bank account that will be used as a primary payment method for your Nerd timesheets and fees. Bank Accounts take up to 48 hours for funds to land which can delay Nerds starting on a project. If you would like Nerds to start immediately after hiring, you can add funds to your account 2 days prior so that those are immediately available when you send an offer. From the billing page, you can also click the change plan button to choose to upgrade to a subscription if you find yourself needing more work than originally planned.
