Black Book.
Get found by the employers who need your skills. Post your resume once, and recruiters searching for your trade can find you, even when you're not applying.
What is Black Book?
Your resume, in front of every recruiter
Hiring shops used to keep private "black books" of people to call when a job opened up. Black Book is that list, shared and searchable. Recruiters search by trade, certification, or keyword, so you get found by more employers than any one contact list could reach.

- Name certs the way recruiters search, like "CWI" or "API 1104"
- List work history, education, and preferred locations
- Use Announce! the week you come off a job
Avoid this
- Leaving an outdated resume as your active one
- Uploading a resume that says little more than "see attached"
- Letting a standard profile lapse past 90 days without signing in
- Listing your references' contact details

Common questions
Is Black Book free?
Uploading a resume is free. Announce! and Premium are optional ways to rank higher and show you're available.
Who can see my resume?
Employers with Black Book access can search resumes. Recruiters see the resume you upload, so only include what you're comfortable sharing.
Do I still have to apply to jobs?
No, but you can do both. Applying puts you in front of one employer. Black Book lets many employers find you.
How do I stop being listed?
Remove your resume from your Job Seeker Dashboard and you'll stop appearing in search.
