Reach All-star profile strength

At the top of your Professional tab is a card called Profile strength. This guide explains exactly how it’s scored, gives you a checklist to reach All-star, and shows why each step helps the right people find you.

Where to find it

Open your profile and tap the Professional tab. The Profile strength card sits at the top. Only you can see it; visitors to your profile don’t.

The card shows three things:

• Your level and percentage, with a progress bar.
• How many of the eight steps you’ve done, for example “6 of 8 done”.
• Your next steps, each with an Add button. Where it helps, it shows your progress, such as “5 skills (you have 4)”.

The four levels

As your percentage rises, your level moves through:

1. Starting
2. Good
3. Strong
4. All-star, at 90% or more

The eight steps and their points

Profile strength adds up to 100 points across eight steps.

Step	Points
Current role	20
Headline	15
5 skills	15
Profile photo	10
Education	10
A few lines about you (a bio of 40+ characters)	10
Your industry	10
Your city	10
Total	100

Because All-star starts at 90%, you can reach it with one of the 10-point steps still open. Your current role, headline and five skills are worth more, so if any of those is missing you’ll be below 90%. Start with them.

Your checklist to All-star

Work through these in order. The biggest steps come first.

1. Add your current role (20). In Settings → Professional, tap “+ Add” under Experience, enter your title and organisation, and tick “I currently work here”. If you serve full-time in a church, use the employment type “Church or ministry service”.
2. Write a headline (15). One clear line under your name, such as “Registered nurse at a teaching hospital” or “Site engineer building affordable homes”.
3. Add at least five skills (15). Type them separated by commas in the Headline & skills form. You can add up to 30.
4. Upload a profile photo (10). A clear, friendly photo of your face.
5. Add your education (10). School, qualification, field of study and years.
6. Write a few lines about you (10). Your bio needs at least 40 characters. Two sentences about who you are and what you care about is plenty.
7. Choose your industry (10). Pick from the drop-down in Settings → Professional.
8. Add your city (10). Where you live, so it shows as “Lives in” on your About tab.

For the photo, bio and city, tap Add beside the step on the card, or Edit Profile at the top of your profile.

Why each step helps people find you

Every step on the card has a purpose. Each one makes it easier for the right person to recognise you, trust you, or find you at all. The card itself puts it simply: “Strong profiles show up first when brethren look for your skills.”

Current role. Brethren you may know suggests people with the same employer or job title. Your role also shows as “Work” on your About tab, and if you leave your headline blank, Brethreign uses your current role in its place.

Headline. It’s the line right under your name, so it’s what people read first when they land on your profile. A clear headline answers “what does this person do?” in a second.

Five skills. Shared skills are one of the ways Brethren you may know suggests people. Five gives a fair picture of what you can do.

Profile photo. People connect with faces. Your photo appears on your profile and on suggestion cards, and it helps someone from your church or city recognise you.

Education. It gives context to your work and shows the training behind it.

A few lines about you. Your bio shows at the top of your profile and on your About tab. It’s where your work and your faith meet in your own words.

Industry. It shows on your About tab and tells people at a glance which field you’re in.

City. Brethren you may know suggests people in the same city, which is useful for finding believers in your field nearby.

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” (Proverbs 22:29)

Beyond All-star

The meter covers the essentials. Once you’re there, a few things make your profile more complete still:

• Choose your church in Settings → Professional, so people from your assembly can find you.
• Add certifications and languages.
• Add church and volunteer roles, which appear under Volunteering.
• Put a piece of work in your portfolio.
