How to Set Up Your FindTalent Profile — A Step-by-Step Video Guide

On FindTalent, employers spend seconds skimming dozens of profiles before deciding whom to message. A clear headline, a confident overview, and proof of past work are what separate the profiles that get hired from the ones that get scrolled past.

This guide walks you through every section of your profile in the order employers actually read them.

Your headline is the first line an employer sees. Skip generic labels like “Freelancer” or “Hardworking VA” — instead, name the role and the outcome you deliver.

• Weak: “Virtual Assistant”
• Strong: “Executive VA for SaaS founders — inbox, calendar, and ops”

Your overview is a short pitch, not a resume. Lead with the kind of clients you help, the problem you solve, and one or two concrete results. Keep it skimmable — short paragraphs, no buzzwords, no “I am a passionate professional” openers.

A useful structure:

1. Who you help (industry, company stage, or role)
2. What you do for them (the specific work)
3. Proof — a result, a metric, or a recognizable client type

Two or three detailed entries beat ten thin ones. For each role, capture what the company did, what you owned, and the outcome. If you have screenshots, deliverables, or links, add them to your portfolio so employers can verify your claims without messaging you.

New to freelancing? Use volunteer projects, internships, or self-initiated work — anything that demonstrates the skill on the page.

The voice note is the fastest way to stand out. Employers hire people, not resumes — a short, clear voice note gives them confidence in your English and your professionalism before the first message.

Keep it under 30 seconds: name, role, the kind of work you’re looking for, and one sentence about what makes you a good fit.

Pricing too low signals inexperience; pricing too high without proof loses you the shortlist. Anchor your rate to your role, your years of relevant experience, and what comparable profiles charge.

You can always raise your rate after a few successful contracts — what you can’t easily do is undo a low rate that’s already in writing.

Open your profile, work through each section in order, and treat the video as a checklist. The whole pass usually takes 30–45 minutes — and once it’s done, you’ll only need to keep work history fresh going forward.
