Why the profile comes first
Collty uses one professional identity across workspaces. Completing it first avoids asking for the same name, location, education and career history again in Client or Partner profiles.
A sufficiently complete profile also gives the team assembly and intelligence systems enough evidence to distinguish actual fit from an empty or generic profile.
What to complete
- Your name, city, country and professional title
- Roles, skills, industries and project types
- Work history, education and selected cases
- Availability, collaboration preferences and rate where relevant
- A date of birth confirming that you are at least 18
Create a personal professional profile
Display name must identify the person who will work, collaborate and be considered for a role. Do not enter a company, agency, product or anonymous brand name in place of your name.
Describe your personal expertise and evidence. If you manage a company or team, add those organization details in Team Studio after the personal profile is complete.
| Field | Good example | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Display name | Jordan Lee | Acme Digital Studio |
| Headline | B2B product strategist for SaaS launches | We deliver every digital service |
| Summary | Your own expertise, approach and proof | Collective sales copy about an unnamed team |
| Cases | Work you personally contributed to, with your role and outcome | A generic company portfolio with no personal contribution |
Use each profile section for a different kind of evidence
| Section | What to enter | How it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Roles and competencies | Work you can personally own | Helps distinguish role fit from a broad keyword match |
| Services and project types | Kinds of work and engagements you accept | Improves team and project-context matching |
| Industries and markets | Domains where you have useful context | Adds business relevance without replacing role expertise |
| Cases | Your contribution, method and outcome | Provides grounded proof for clients and AI-assisted assembly |
| Education and courses | Completed, relevant learning records | Adds background and achievement evidence |
| Availability and capacity | Current collaboration status and realistic weekly capacity | Prevents a good skills match from becoming an impossible assignment |
| Collaboration preferences | How you work, communicate and lead | Supports team compatibility and relationship explanations |
| Rate | Your current personal rate where applicable | Provides authorized commercial context when the project model needs it |
How profile evidence is used
Add people you have actually worked with
Private Collaboration Graph records trusted professional relationships separately from public followers. Add an existing Collty contact without using an invitation, or add a connection and send an invitation when the person has not created an account yet.
Signals such as Worked with, Trusted, Prefer again and My friend provide context for future team compatibility. They are private collaboration inputs, not public endorsements.
- 1Choose Add connection
Use it for a person who already has a Collty account or for a relationship you want to record without sending an invitation.
- 2Choose Add connection and invite
Use the limited invitation quota for a new contact who should receive a registration invitation.
- 3Select the relationship signal
Choose the signal that accurately describes the real relationship.
- 4Review Connections
Open the searchable list to filter by signal and inspect account or invitation status without making the profile form indefinitely tall.
Review how people will see your personal profile
- Check that your name, country and timezone identify a real working context.
- Make sure cases and education explain your personal contribution clearly.
- Use Visibility to control whether the permitted professional profile can be discovered publicly or only in an authorized context.
- Private relationship notes, date of birth, account email and private workspace data are not shown as public portfolio content.
