Tips for successful uploads

Before uploading an image or video, check that:

  • the image matches the recommended dimensions

  • the video is 2 minutes or shorter if used for a job ad or banner

  • the file is clear and professional

  • the content is appropriate for job seekers or employers

  • the image is not blurry, stretched, or heavily cropped

For best results, resize your image before uploading instead of relying on the platform to crop it.
