🎉 You've completed your profile! What's next?

Learn what happens after completing your Candid profile, how your first matches work, what happens when you swipe right and how Candid connects you with hospitality opportunities that match your experience and career goals.

Written by Izzy (Head of Community)

Firstly, huge congratulations!

Your profile is now 100% complete which means our matching technology has everything it needs to start connecting you with hospitality roles that genuinely suit you.

☝️Your first match

Our ideal scenario is that as soon as you've completed your profile you'll have at least one opportunity waiting for you in Matches to Review.

These aren't random job adverts. They're vacancies we've matched to your profile based on what you're looking for, your experience and any live vacancies brands currently have.

Take your time to review each opportunity and decide whether it's one you'd like to explore.

👉 What happens if I swipe right?

Swiping right doesn't send your CV or automatically apply for the job.

Instead it opens a conversation with the hiring manager for that role.

Think of it as an introduction rather than an application.

This gives you the chance to:

  • 💬 Introduce yourself.

  • ❓Ask questions about the role, team or business.

  • 🌟 Share what you're looking for in your next opportunity.

  • 🤝 Decide together whether it feels like the right fit.

It's a much more natural way to start the hiring process without the pressure of sending off applications and waiting for a response.

Don't have a match yet?

Don't worry! Not everyone will receive a match immediately.

As new roles are added to Candid and employers begin recruiting we'll continue matching them against your profile.

As soon as we find a role that looks like a great fit it'll appear in your Matches to Review.

There's nothing else you need to do. We'll keep working behind the scenes to find opportunities that match what you're looking for.
