Vetano helps you prove your skills and get hired faster — no resume needed.

On Vetano, your profile is your portfolio. You control your brand, show off your work, and connect with opportunity. Whether you want to be hired for a full-time job, freelance gig, or future booking — it all starts with your profile.


🪪 Step 1: Create Your Account

  • Enter your phone number

  • You’ll get a text with a code

  • Choose Talent as your role


🧰 Step 2: Build Your Talent Profile

Here’s what makes your profile powerful:

🎥 Intro Video (Required)

This is your first impression — and it never gets buried like a social post.
Use it to:

  • Talk about who you are

  • Show your skills, tools, or workspace

  • Share your values and vibe

Your video can be selfie-style, or professionally shot — just make it authentic.

✍️ Name & Tagline

Let people know what you do at a glance.
Examples:

  • “Toni — Precision Barber | 10+ Years Experience”

  • “Nails by Jae | Custom Designs & Detail Work”

📝 Bio

Write up to 1,000 characters. Talk about:

  • Your style, specialties, or services

  • Who you've worked with

  • Why you do what you do

🗓 Career Timeline

Think of this as your personal highlight reel.
Include:

  • Previous shops or locations

  • Events or expos

  • Notable clients

  • Years in the industry

📎 Attachments

You can upload files to back up your work:

  • Licenses (e.g. barber license, cosmetology license)

  • Certifications (e.g. CPR, continuing education)

  • Resumes

  • Awards

  • Testimonials or portfolio PDFs

🎞 Skill Showcase (Optional)

Add extra videos or photos beyond your intro — show:

  • Techniques

  • Finished results

  • Side-by-side transformations

  • Before-and-after work
    You can update this anytime.


📡 Step 3: Explore and Apply to Jobs

  • Tap the Explore tab to view available jobs

  • Tap Apply Now — it’s always free

  • If an employer is interested, you’ll receive a Connection request

  • Once accepted, you can chat directly


💬 Want to Reach Out First?

If there's no job post, you can still message:

  • Employers

  • Influencers

  • Other talent

To do this, you’ll need to purchase Connections. Learn more in the Connections Guide.


🛡️ Step 4: Verify Your ID (Final Step)

This unlocks:

  • Messaging

  • Being discovered

  • Applying to jobs

  • Earning through affiliate links

  • Future bookings

We accept:
✅ Government-issued driver’s license or passport
This protects everyone on the platform and stops spam, scams, and fake profiles.
