Verified Career Profile
Design a reusable career profile where candidates control which verified credentials are shared with an employer.
The brief
Understand the problem
Background
Resumes repeat the same claims across applications, while identity and credential checks often happen through opaque third parties. A portable profile can reduce duplication if candidates retain consent, expiry, and revocation controls.
User context
Keisha is applying for a laboratory role. She wants to share her degree and safety certification but not her home address, birth date, or unrelated employment records.
Product problem
Candidates need to present trusted evidence without turning a career profile into a universal identity file.
Objective
Create credential collection, selective sharing, employer view, and access revocation for a digital career profile.
What to design
Define the experience
Required experience
- Add a credential from a verified issuer
- Choose profile visibility and field-level sharing
- Preview the employer's exact view
- Revoke a link or replace an expired credential
Screens and states
- Career profile
- Credential detail
- Share setup and preview
- Access history
Core user flow
Follow the critical path

Keisha imports her degree and certification
- 02
She creates a role-specific share link with an expiry
- 03
She previews exactly what the employer can see
- 04
After the application closes, she revokes access
