Arena’s AI-powered platform helps match talent with the right employers based on your experience, skills, and career goals. But the quality of your matches depends on how complete and clear your profile is.

Here are some tips to improve your visibility and get discovered by the right teams.


✅ 1. Complete your profile (and keep it updated)

A detailed profile helps Arena’s algorithm understand who you are and what you’re looking for. Make sure you’ve filled out:

  • A clear profile photo

  • Your current and previous roles

  • Skills and tools you’re proficient in

  • Education and certifications

  • Industries or companies you’re interested in

  • Preferred locations or remote preferences

  • Your portfolio of previous work

  • Upload a full resume


✍️ 2. Personalize your bio

Your bio is often the first thing employers see. Make sure it communicates your experience, strengths, and what you're looking for next.


🧠 3. Add keywords relevant to your career path

Think about what recruiters might search for. If you’re a social media strategist with experience in live sports or a partnership manager focused on entertainment brands, include those keywords in your bio and experience sections.


🎯 4. Define your career interests clearly

You can let Arena know:

  • The types of roles you're open to

  • If you’re open to freelance, part-time, or remote work

This helps us surface better matches and prevent irrelevant ones.


🔁 5. Engage regularly

Check your Arena dashboard often and interact with job posts or messages from companies. This signals interest and keeps your profile active in employer searches.
