Learn about encoded links, direct access URLs, and how to share your profile securely with potential employers.
What Are Encoded Links?
Encoded links are special URLs that provide secure, direct access to your resume or job postings without requiring login credentials. This feature is available to all candidates free of charge.
How Encoded Links Work

You can disable or revoke encoded links at any time through your candidate dashboard.
