My Monster CVs & Confidentiality Options
Mark Mills

Introduction

When you build your my Monster CV, you will have a confidentiality option which when activated hides certain pieces of Information from the employer view (Active & Searchable CVs). You can locate this option within the Contact Details screen of your My Monster CV.

Once you have accessed the Contact Details page, scroll down a little and you will notice a tick box and text in red 'Save my CV as Confidential'. The information, which is hidden from employer view, is as follows:

1. Your Name
2. Your Address
3. Your Telephone and Fax numbers (If Input)
4. Your email address
5. The name of your present employer
6. All references (If page completed)

Once you click Save & Continue at the bottom of the Contact Details page, this will save your CV as confidential and hide all the above information. So, how do employers contact you? Well, once you activate your CV and thus searchable by employers, Monster.co.uk place an email address at the top of your CV for employers to use. They simply click the email link at the top of your online CV and send an email as normal. Monster then route any email messages back to your own personal email address with which you registered. *Remember if you need to change your email address access the My Profile section of your my Monster account.

Managing your Confidentiality

When Monster clients are trained on searching the CV database, they are made aware of the confidentiality options within the CV builder and this is by no way a hindrance to your CV or any future contact you may have by recruiters. We ask that you keep your email address up to date, as this is the only way in which employers will be able to contact you when your CV is live and confidential.

Should you find that you would like to apply to jobs on Monster using your confidential CV, then a message will appear before you send your CV, stating that your contact information will be viewable by that particular recruiter and do you still wish to apply. To remove the confidentiality option, access the Contact Details page and un-check the tick box, then click the Save & Continue button at the bottom of the page.
