Anonymous job search

Be found for what you can do, by people who do not yet know who you are.

An anonymous job search turns the usual order around. On a job board you hand over your name, your employer and your resume before anyone has decided you are worth a conversation. Here a recruiter sees what you can do first, and learns who you are only if you decide they should.

That is not a privacy setting layered over an ordinary job site. It is how IncognitoH is built: the searchable part of your profile and the part that identifies you are stored apart, and the systems recruiters use cannot reach the second one.

What goes in, and what stays out

• In: your skills, years of experience, industry, location, work authorisation, availability, and the pay you expect. A summary of your resume with the identifying details stripped out.
• Out: your name, email, phone number, LinkedIn, employer names, and the original resume file. These are sealed in a separate store that recruiter-facing search never touches.
• Your career timeline shows durations and seniority, not companies. Four years as a senior engineer at a payments company is findable; the name of the company is not there to find.

How a recruiter finds you

Recruiters do not browse resumes. They describe a role, and candidates are ranked against it on experience, location, right to work, availability and skills, with the score broken down so they can see why someone placed where they did. You appear under an opaque handle.

The first thing they see is a card: how well you match, your skills, experience, industry, location, pay range, availability and right to work. The professional detail behind it — certifications, domain expertise, technical stack, leadership, the timeline — is open only to recruiters on a paid plan. Nothing on either names you.

When an opportunity reaches you

A recruiter who wants to talk has to tell you who they are first: the company, the role, the pay range, the work model and the place. You are still anonymous. You can ask questions through the platform, accept, decline, or block them, and none of those answers reveals anything about you.

Accepting means you are interested. It does not release a single detail by itself. Your name, email, phone, LinkedIn and employment history move only when you tick them, one field at a time, and every release is recorded so you can see what you shared, with whom, and when.

What it costs you

Nothing. Candidates do not pay to be here, and there is no price on your identity: a recruiter cannot buy it, and the plan recruiters subscribe to does not include it. The only way your details move is your decision.

What anonymity cannot do

A profile detailed enough to be found may describe a career only one person has had. If you are the only person who held a particular role at a particular kind of company, a determined reader may work out who you are. Keep your profile specific enough to be found and general enough to stay comfortable, and read how anonymity works for the full picture, including what we cannot promise.

Found for what you can do. Known when you decide.
